UW Bothell Veterans

📣 📣 You're Invited: VMCC Open House & 22 Push-Up Challenge!

Join us on Monday, September 30th for a day dedicated to veterans, service members, and their families at the Veteran and Military Community Center (VMCC) in UW1 Room 011!

From 10 AM to 2 PM, stop by our VMCC Open House to learn about VA and State education benefits and the process to use these benefits at UWB. We'll be available to answer all your questions about how to maximize your benefits as an active duty or reservist service member, veteran, spouse, or dependent.

📚 Exciting Opportunity! We will also be discussing the VA Work-Study program, where you can earn extra income while attending school. Don't miss the chance to find out how you can get paid while serving your fellow veterans on campus!

From 8 AM to 5 PM, join us for the 22 Push-Up Challenge, raising awareness for veteran mental health and su***de prevention. This challenge honors the 22 veterans lost to su***de each day. If you're in good physical health, come show your support by participating. If you can't, no worries—our Student Veterans Association Chapter President, Ricardo Estrada, will gladly do the push-ups on your behalf.

The 22 Push-Up Challenge is not just about raising awareness—it's about taking action. If you or a veteran you know is struggling with thoughts of su***de, please call the Veterans Crisis Line at 988 and press 1 to chat live or text 838255 for help.

You are never alone. There's always someone ready to listen and provide support.
