Veterans Resource Center

Support for those who have served and continue to serve.

Western Illinois University remains committed to supporting student veterans, active service members, and military-connected students through the Veterans Resource Center. Your support helps provide a welcoming, one-stop space with resources that ease the transition to academic and civilian life.

Inspired by the legacy of Colonel Rock Hanson, the center offers guidance, community, and essential services that help students succeed in and out of the classroom. From academic support to connection and advocacy, this resource plays a vital role in their WIU experience.

During the Western Challenge, gifts will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $10,000, doubling your impact in support of those who have served.
