PNW opportunities for Veterans

Purdue University North Central and Purdue University Calumet each previously earned the Military Friendly® designation prior to unifying to become Purdue University Northwest.

Through the PNW Veterans Services program, veterans have a community of university personnel, students and community agencies available to provide individual support and services to increase the likelihood of veterans and student service members achieving their educational goals.
