Questrom Veterans Club
The Questrom Veterans Club is aimed at creating support and comradery for Questrom student-veterans. Military service is an uncommon experience that is best understood by those who have worn a uniform. It is important for veterans to remain connected to other veterans, not only as a part of their transition to civilian life or student life, but also to maintain a sense of belonging to a group that can best understand their experiences. Through networking events, volunteer work and awareness raising events, the club will help our student-veterans connect with the greater veteran community of Boston and enhance their time as a student at Questrom.
