The Charlie and Hazel Daniels Veterans and Military Family Center at MTSU is named for the Danielses. Through Daniels’ Journey Home Project foundation, which assists other not-for-profits in securing funds to benefit veterans and assist in their transition from uniform into civilian life, gifts totaling $220,000 have been provided to the center.
The center is located on the first floor of the Keathley University Center and assists more than 900 student veterans and family members on campus this fall.
The center’s goal is to assist current military, veterans and family members in their move from military to college, then from college to a successful career.
The Daniels Center’s Veterans Transitioning Home is located in KUC Room 316. It works with Midstate businesses to help student veterans and MTSU students find employment and begin careers following graduation.
MTSU has more than 300 combined undergraduate and graduate programs.
