DCTC Veterans Resource Center

DCTC operates a Veterans Resource Center on campus to provide support services and program information to U.S. military veterans just returning from active duty or retired from the armed forces for a number of years. The center also puts veterans in contact with other veterans on campus.

Established in spring 2007 in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans Resource Center is located in the college's Student Life Center. Katherine Bachman serves as the coordinator of the center, which is committed to helping veterans reach their higher education goals.
