Who is Military Connected?

We use the term “military-connected student” to describe students who are:

  • Veterans of the U.S. military.
  • Currently serving in the U.S. military (active and reserve).
  • Children and spouses of current or former members of the U.S. military.

This term does not include all ROTC students, but cadets and midshipmen may also identify as former military or family members.

Badger Veteran Photo Project

Our goal is to bring visibility to Badger veterans and service members. The Photo Project was designed to share the story of one’s military service while also celebrating the person behind the uniform.
