About the Veterans Resource Center

The CPTC Veterans Resource Center is a place for veterans to connect with other veterans.  In addition, the center provides services specifically designed for veterans.  It is not just an office, but rather a place where veterans can find and build their community within the college.

In addition to the CPTC Vet Corp Veterans Navigator, Peer Navigators are available to assist current and prospective military-connected students with accessing benefits as well as providing referrals to a number of campus and community resources with the goal of helping veterans balance their academic and personal demands. Specific services include: 

• Tutoring
• Support for veterans' student group
• Activities for veteran and military students and their families
• Public presentations and speakers
• Workshops for veteran and military students
• Faculty and staff training

The Veterans Resource Center is located in Building 2, Room 109 on the Lakewood Campus.

SALUTE National Honor Society for Veterans

Clover Park Technical College recently became the latest chapter of the SALUTE National Honor Society for Veterans, recognizing veterans, active duty, National Guard and reservists for achieving academic success.

SALUTE (Service, Academics, Leadership, Unity, Tribute and Excellence) was established in 2009 and is based out of Colorado State University. It is the first National Honor Society established for student veterans and active duty military enrolled in 2-year and 4-year institutions of higher education.

The honor society includes a four-tier GPA system designed to encourage student veterans to strive to improve their GPA and advance to a higher level during their academic careers. The GPA levels are Alpha (3.75-4.0), Bravo (3.5-3.74), Charlie (3.25-3.49) and Delta (3.0-3.24).

For more information about becoming a member of SALUTE, please contact the CPTC Veterans Navigator at 253-589-5966 or visit the Veterans Resource Center in Building 2, Room 109.
