Campus, corporate, and community partners all play an essential role in helping our student veterans succeed at UGA. Our Got Your Six™ awareness classes – presented by the UGA Student Veterans Resource Center – provide individuals with an understanding of the:
- UGA student veteran population
- The challenges veterans may face while attending a Tier-1 Research University
- UGA and SVRC-facilitated programs and services in place to mitigate those challenges

- UGA-specific student veteran demographics (i.e age, status, degree)
- Potential issues facing undergraduate and graduate student veterans
