Right Foot Forward: Career Prep
Right Foot Forward is a transition program for student veterans at the University of Denver, matching them with industry-professional mentors based on their career aspirations.
During a series of meetings with a DU Career Advisor and their industry mentor, each student veteran develops a professionally formatted resume, meets industry contacts, and improves their social media presence, leaving them confident and ready to embark on the job search process.
Student veterans who complete to the Right Foot Forward program won't just feel more confident; they'll look it too! Upon completion of the program, each mentee receives a custom-fitted suit from Brooks Brothers, compliments of the University of Denver’s Office of Veterans & Military Resources.
Join Right Foot Forward and get matched with an industry-professional mentor of your own by contacting Career Services today!

Student Veterans Recalled for Active Duty
The University of Denver supports students called to active duty in the armed services by providing academic support, tuition relief or refunds, and by reinstating students whose documented service has required their sudden withdrawal or prolonged absence from enrollment at the University.
Learn MoreVeteran Housing
The transition to a new city or community can be difficult. That's why the Office of Veterans & Military Resources has begun working with off-campus housing to help with your transition. We are now able to reserve housing for veterans, active duty, and reservists who are attending the University of Denver.
Currently on reserve we have two 2-bedroom units and three studio units. All are located on University property within walking distance of the Coors Fitness Center, Driscoll Student Center, and all DU classrooms. And because they're on University property, DU Campus Safety is just a phone call away.

The Sturm Center provides high-quality, evidence-based and confidential behavioral health services for military families on the University of Denver Campus in the Ammi Hyde Building.
