Veterans Resource Centers

The Veterans Resource Centers (VRCs) are open and welcoming spaces that support all students at PCC.  We focus on providing veteran and military-affiliated students, their families, and the surrounding veteran community with advocacy, resources, programming, and cultural engagement.  The Veterans Resource Centers are located on Cascade, Rock Creek, Southeast, and Sylvania campuses.  Click the campus links at the bottom or side of this page for contact information at each location.

Virtual services are available daily, Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm.  Reach out to us by email for any inquiries or to schedule a Zoom appointment.
