The Veteran

June Mid-Month 2026  Newsletter

As we begin the summer term, we want to welcome back all of our veteran and military-affiliated students. Whether you are taking a full class load, balancing school with work and family, or easing into a lighter schedule, we’re proud of you for continuing to move forward. Summer term can feel fast, so remember to stay organized, give yourself time to rest, and take things one step at a time.

The Veterans Resource Center is here to support you throughout the term. Whether you need help finding resources, a quiet place to study, or a welcoming community to connect with, we encourage you to stop by and make the VRC part of your summer routine. We’re excited to see you, support you, and cheer you on as we start a new term together. Welcome to summer term! 💚

Please note the updated summer hours for upcoming sessions:

📅 July 7, 14, and 21
⏰ 11:00 AM–2:00 PM
📍 SMSU Basement, Room 018

The VRC is offering Summer Acupuncture to support relaxation, wellness, and stress relief for veteran and military-affiliated students.

These sessions are a great chance to pause during the busy summer term, reset, and take care of yourself. Acupuncture may help reduce symptoms related to PTSD, anxiety, insomnia, and hyperarousal.

August dates are still to be determined and will depend on participation in July. Reserve an appointment, stop by, and take some time to support your wellness this summer. 💚

PSU has two Mind Spa spaces available for students: one at the Veterans Resource Center and one through SHAC. The VRC Mind Spa is open on a walk-in basis, giving students a quiet place to relax, decompress, and reset during the term. Students who want to use the SHAC Mind Spa can make a reservation online. SHAC also offers a Wellness Lounge and a Nap Room, giving students even more options to rest and recharge when they need a break. Whether you need a few minutes of quiet, a space to breathe, or a chance to reset between classes, these resources are here to support you.

Vet Cert summer hours will run through Labor Day. Counter support will be available Monday through Thursday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. On Fridays, Vet Cert will be fully remote, with no counter service and no phone support.

The VRC will be closed on the following summer dates. Please plan ahead for any in-person visits, questions, or resource needs.
