Thank you, veterans!

We’re proud to have many student veterans who chose to become Gateway Red Hawks. Transitioning from military to student life can be rewarding, but challenging, so Gateway’s Veteran Support Services offer a number of opportunities and assistance to help you succeed. These services are open to Gateway student veterans, as well as their spouses and families:

  • Veteran Student Support is available districtwide. Our support specialist can meet with you on each campus, virtually through Zoom or by phone to connect you with resources such as career exploration, tutoring, student finance, academic advising and remediation services.
  • Veteran Support Resources include a Veteran Crisis Line (988 then Press 1), National Resource Directory, USA Cares and much more. Learn more.
  • Veterans Benefits that fund your education are provided to veterans, active service members, spouses and dependents of a deceased or disabled veteran. Learn more.
  • Gateway’s Student Veterans Club is always looking for leaders. The club gives its members the opportunity to meet those with similar experiences and has counseling available when its members need someone trustworthy to talk to.
  • Volunteer opportunities allow you to serve and participate in local and county veteran functions and workshops.
  • Two Veteran’s Lounges, designed to provide safe, comfortable environments for veteran students to study, relax, network and connect with others.
    • The Kenosha Lounge is located in the Academic Building (Room 125) and open during regular business hours. The new and improved Racine Lounge, which features an updated look and feel, is located in the Lake Building near the library – just ask a librarian for access to the room.
  • Referrals or walk-in services will be provided to veterans through the Student Success department, such as disability support, counseling, financial aid and the learning center support.
  • Specialized accommodations or equipment will be made for required students, as well as support services to federal, state, county and local veteran services and programs.
