HI SR117

Urges the University of Hawaii to establish a Veterans Resource Office and Veterans Resource Center at each campus to support the 2,400+ veterans enrolled across the ten campuses and increase veteran enrollment.

Requires each Veterans Resource Center to conduct campus surveys, establish steering committees, and provide sensitivity training for faculty and staff on military culture, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and suicide risks.

Mandates Veterans Resource Centers provide student veteran orientation programs, peer mentoring, optional veterans-only courses, and career/job placement services.

Directs centers to conduct outreach to local military bases, serve as comprehensive resources for veterans and military families, and collaborate with community organizations for support.

Encourages the Veterans Resource Office to offer a Veterans Supportive Campus certification to campuses that successfully implement and achieve the resolution's goals.
