Veterans Integration to Academic Leadership (VITAL) is VA’s approach to reaching out to Student Veterans to help facilitate the transition from Servicemember to Student. The VITAL Initiative is a partnership between the VA Medical Center and local colleges and universities. We’re here to help you navigate your needs and concerns and maximize your unique set of strengths, skills, and life experiences as you develop and translate your interests and talents into an academic setting. Vital representatives will be on-campus in the SAI office and/or veterans lounge to assist Lancer veterans with claims, enrollment, and more!
