MARCH 2025
The VRC strongly encourages new and transitioning students to connect with our Learning Resource Center. The Learning Resource Center has a series of workshops on Time Management, Navigating Online Learning Tools (such as Canvas, etc), and Scholarship workshops (Yes, for the VC Scholarship Foundation!)
REINS of H.O.P.E.
ROH provides the military-connected community with free mental health services. On Friday, February 21st, service members gathered for "hands-on assistance” with horses, which help in working through emotional barriers. They provide a safe space for our veterans through interactions filled with acceptance. The VRC will be planning monthly group trips. ROH also provides free services the 4th Wednesday of each month from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. For more information contact 805-633-9199 or email reinsofh.o.p.e.ojai@gmail.com.
Veteran Student Support Group
Join our Veterans Student Mental Health Support Group, lead by Edwin Solano, and connect with fellow student veterans as an additional resource to share education experiences. Together, we aim to create a supportive environment where you can meet others who understand your journey. Gain valuable coping skills to adapt to the new academic environment and thrive in your educational pursuits.
