The Ole Miss Veterans and Military Services building was officially unveiled at the recently renovated George Street House last week. The building will now also house the Veterans Resource Center.
Veterans and Military Services’ move to the George Street House from the third floor of Martindale was meant to increase accessibility to students, according to a press release. Additionally, the Veterans Resource Center’s move from the basement of Yerby Hall is expected to cut down on a walking commute from the two buildings, which used to be 10 minutes.
The services of the office of military services vary widely, from assistance with GI Bills to Veterans Assistant insurance. According to Andrew Newby, the assistant director of veteran’s services, the Martindale office was too small for the number of students utilizing it.
