Northeast Lakeview College celebrates groundbreaking of new Veterans Center

Northeast Lakeview College on Nov. 10 celebrated the groundbreaking of a new Veterans Center within the Alamo Colleges District.

This approximately 11,000-square-foot building is funded through the State of Texas appropriations that were provided to the Alamo Colleges for the 2022-23 biennium. The project was awarded $7.7 million.

Northeast Lakeview College President Veronica Garcia opened the ceremony with comments focusing on the benefits for military-affiliated families.

“It will be a standalone facility, which will provide specific services and support for our veteran students and our military-affiliated families,” Garcia said.

According to information shared by Northeast Lakeview College officials, some of the enhancements for the new facility include:

• increasing veteran-specific orientations, academic and nonacademic programming;
• enhancing career planning, training, job assistance search and transitional services;
