UWM MAVRC

UWM MAVRC Staffed by an all Veteran workforce, MAVRC welcomes and supports military-related students on the UW Personal, Academic and Professional
Success at UWM.

Transitioning to campus life can be challenging for any student. These challenges are even more pronounced for military and student veterans, especially those of you who are returning from a recent deployment and/or a combat situation. Our center is committed to providing the most current and useful information to assist you with the transition from warrior to scholar to graduate. The Center has s

trong and supportive relationships with key UWM departments to ensure that military and student veterans have personal contacts when they are in need of campus support services. Our space has computer access, study space and is a relaxing and peaceful retreat for meeting and hanging out with others who may have had similar experiences and who understand military culture.

National Buffalo Soldiers Day: July 28

The Act of 1866 created six all-Black cavalry and infantry units—including the famous 9th and 10th Cavalry—giving formerly enslaved men and Civil War veterans a chance to serve. Native American tribes gave them the name "Buffalo Soldiers" out of deep respect for their fierce fighting spirit and bravery in battle. These troops served on the western frontier, protecting settlers, building roads, and helping manage early national parks, among many other assignments.

The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, also known as the G.I. Bill of Rights, was signed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on June 22, 1944, to provide services and benefits to the veterans of World War II.

In addition to providing education funds for soldiers returning from the World War, it established hospitals, low cost mortgages, and low interest loans to start business, and one year of unemployment compensation for the veterans.
