DeVry Military Resource Club


Mission
Our goal is to ease the transition from service to studying by providing members with the same camaraderie we became accustomed to in the military. We are a family of veterans, with a common calling to help student veterans. The club meets periodically to provide each other with the latest information on careers, scholarships, grants, housing and much more.

DeVry Military Resource Club has been a member of the
Student Veterans of America (SVA) since 2008.

Club Activity
We meet periodically to provide each other with the latest information on careers, scholarships, grants, housing and much more.

Established in 2008, the DMRC strives to build a healthy camaraderie and keep military traditions alive by engaging DeVry students with service backgrounds in group activities and team building exercises including sporting events, movies, concerts, paint ball matches, and classroom help as well as specialized events such as:
