GROSSMONT COLLEGE–It looks like a quiet spacious living room accessorized with computers and a bookshelf.

This new quiet study location for military veterans is conveniently located in Building 21, room 253. The Student Veterans Organization wanted to create a resource for veterans students attending Grossmont College. This is the first program that Grossmont College has made available just for veterans.

The resource center anticipates that veterans will have many of the same general needs for college students, especially a quiet place to study, and do homework. In addition, however, this is a place to receive information regarding veterans benefits.  There are also programs on the computers that designed forstudents who have disabilities.
