MVSC Mission and Vision

Mission and Vision of the Military & Veterans Success Center

Mission Statement

The Military and Veterans Success Center at UT Tyler exists to ensure that every military-affiliated student—veterans, active duty, Guard, Reserve, and family members—thrives in their academic journey. We do this by delivering personalized transition support, championing military and veteran-inclusive teaching, advising, and support practices across campus, as well as cultivating partnerships with community, state, and federal agencies that expand opportunities beyond graduation.

Vision

Through its work, the Military and Veterans Success Center will establish UT Tyler as the recognized leader in East Texas for military-affiliated student success by setting the standard for outcomes-driven support, building a visible culture of military and veteran inclusivity on campus, and serving as a regional hub where innovation in military affiliated education and community reintegration is developed, tested, and shared.

The MVSC will accomplish its mission and vision by:

• Enabling our student community to apply the lessons of military service to their continued service as scholars;
• Remaining experts in all aspects of federal and state education benefits for military affiliated individuals;
• Continuously assessing and improving service delivery;
• Partnering with university and community partners to create an environment that contributes to the academic, professional, and personal success of our military affiliated community; and
• Representing the interests of the university and its military affiliated community to local, state, regional, and national organizations and partners.
