Veteran Services
Your service matters — so does your future
At Goodwin University, we don’t just celebrate our student veterans — we support their journeys every step of the way. With 30+ career-focused programs, hands-on learning opportunities, and dedicated support services, we help veterans, service members, and their families transition from military life to higher education.
On behalf of the Goodwin community, we thank you for your service!

We start with you
From a robust Veterans Orientation program to comprehensive services like academic advising, mental health counseling, accessibility resources, and career services, Goodwin is committed to your success.
Our strong partnerships — including outreach with the CT VA and Hartford Vet Center — ensure you have access to the tools and resources you deserve. With a dedicated veterans coordinator who works closely with instructors and advisors, you’ll have the support you need to thrive from day one to graduation and beyond.
We have full-time veterans’ staff that constantly reach out to you. They’re not only making sure you’re getting the resources you need financially and academically, but they’re constantly checking to make sure everything’s okay with your life, family, and work. It’s a complete approach to support services that’s more than financial. It’s about the student’s well-being and emotional being as well.

Your OASIS awaits
The Veterans’ OASIS is more than a lounge. It’s a haven where community comes to life.
Centrally located on the second floor of One Riverside Drive, the Veterans’ OASIS is a welcoming hub for student veterans. An ideal spot to study, socialize, or relax between classes, the OASIS is equipped with comfortable seating, desktop computers, and more!
