Military Affiliated Resource Center (M.A.R.C.)

The M.A.R.C. began in 2011 to provide military affiliated students a space to connect for resources and support throughout their K-State journey. In 2023, K-State began to implement the strategies developed for a Center of Excellence for Veteran Student Success to form a “suite of services” for our Veteran and Military Affiliated population.
