We have a proud history as a military-friendly school, dating back to our founding in 1946 to provide educational opportunities for veterans returning home from World War II. This tradition continues, with Charlotte nationally ranked in several publications, including U.S. News &amp; World Report, for our support for veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our student-veterans, along with military-affiliated faculty, staff and alumni, bring their extraordinary problem-solving skills, global experiences and devotion to service to Charlotte, thereby enhancing and enriching their classes and this university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On campus, UNC Charlotte&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/veterans.charlotte.edu\/\">Veteran Services Office<\/a> will host its annual <a href=\"https:\/\/ninerengage.charlotte.edu\/event\/9579059\">Military Appreciation Breakfast<\/a> on Thursday, November 9. All military-affiliated students, families, faculty and staff are invited to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To all of the veterans among us, thank you for your service.
