Veteran’s Club
The Shawnee Community College Veterans Club is open to any student who is a veteran, active military, dependent, or supporter of any branch of military. The club volunteers for events on campus as well as events held by other organizations that support the military. Each year the club plans to select one or two organizations outside of SCC and offer their assistance and/or support.
SCC Veterans Club members also have access to the Veterans Resource Room, located just past the Main Campus Bookstore, which provides an area for Veterans to study, utilize the internet, and access Veteran resources.
