The Veterans’ Sanctuary
The Veterans’ Sanctuary at Idaho State University is the first transition and
support program of its kind in the United States. Our mission is simple, to
provide first-class service to military veterans of all eras attending ISU. We
have a support team to offer guidance from the moment student veterans arrive
on campus until they graduate. The Sanctuary also offers orientations designed
for new student veterans, free vet-to-vet tutoring, access to academic advisors
trained to work with veterans, sections of general education classes set aside for
veterans and taught by faculty members who are either veterans themselves or
supporters, events and activities for student veterans, and much more.
We help with the transition from active military duty to ISU, and from ISU
to active military duty. Whether you are a new student who has completed
your service, a student who interrupted your education to serve and are now
returning, or a student who began your studies elsewhere and are transferring
here, we will help guide you to the resources you need to make the most of your
ISU experience. Visit our website at www.isu.edu/veterans
