Grand opening of resource center celebrates veterans
Jonathan Baca | November 12Student veterans celebrated Veterans Day this year in a very special way — with the grand opening of the new Student Veterans Resource Center. Located in the former LGBTQ Resource Center building, the facility provides a wide variety of resources geared toward giving student vets what they need to succeed in college, said Eliberto Calderon, president of Student Veterans of the University of New Mexico. “Personally, it’s a source of pride that this University not only talks about being veteran-friendly, but carries it out,” Calderon said. “They actually put some resources behind it and are walking the walk when it comes to supporting us.”
