Green Zone Training

There are over 1,600 students at Florida International University (FIU) who identify as active duty, veteran, reservist, or National Guard members. These students are in every program and bring significant life experiences and diversity to the FIU community.

•       Military cultural competencies
•       Services and resources provided by the Office of Veteran and Military Affairs
•       Common myths/stigmas surrounding student veterans
•       Off-campus resources and support services

•       Lending an empathetic ear and help our student veterans and military-affiliated students connect with the appropriate resources
