College Opening Late Due to Weather
Forms and Resources
Wake Tech provides Veterans Zones on three campuses, areas where student veterans and their family members can connect in a safe environment and interact in a unique academic and social setting. Student veterans also can look for the Green Zone symbol in Wake Tech offices and on course syllabi and know they have found a trained advocate who understands difficulties they may be facing and is willing to assist them and lend a sympathetic ear.
