M.V.C. is the campus chapter of Student Veterans of America and is an organization at UIS that provides a support network to active military, veteran students and families. This is an open organization for students to come socialize and network, as well as discuss ways UIS can better accommodate the veteran student population on campus. Check the MVC’s UIS Connection Page for club meeting times and upcoming events, or contact MVC at milvetsclub@uis.edu to learn more.
The Military and Veterans Lounge is a physical space on campus designated for use by our military-connected, active duty, and veteran students. The lounge is located in the Public Affairs Center (PAC) room 120 (lower level near the Bookstore) and is open daily from 9A.M. to 5P.M but if you see the door opened after hours feel free to come in. Please feel free to use this space to study, get free coffee and snacks, print, relax before or after classes, and possibly to run into some other student veterans.
