The El Camino College Veterans Services Program was recently re-approved as an institution of higher learning by the California State Approving Agency for Veterans Education (CSAAVE). This agency is part of the California Department of Veterans Affairs and operates under the authority of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. CSAAVE ensures that institutions meet the criteria for providing education and training for veterans, while promoting quality in veterans' education programs. Thanks go to the application team of Martha Angel, Rosanna Merrill, Juan Garcia, and Veronica Munoz, with Espe Nieto as the manager and the lead.
The El Camino College Veterans Services Program aids veterans and eligible dependents in planning educational programs and maintaining compliance with Veterans Affairs regulations. A variety of resources are available to veterans on the ECC campus, including a veterans counselor, an active Veterans Club and a Veterans Resource Center, which offers access to computers, computer assistance, a study area, workshops, and referrals to services, both at the college and in the community.
