MVS has several resources - some of them unique to AU - to help you be successful. From opportunities to learn about VA and DoD educational benefits to means to engage with other veterans in the community, MVS wants to aid in your success from application to graduation and beyond.
American Corporate Partners (ACP) Mentoring
Augusta University is proud to be a partner with American Corporate Partners (ACP).
ACP’s free Mentoring Program connects post-9/11 veterans, active duty spouses and
eligible military spouses (Protégés) with corporate professionals (Mentors) for customized
mentorships. ACP assists veterans and eligible spouses on their path towards fulfilling,
long-term careers, whether the veteran is job searching or newly employed. Typical
mentorship goals include resume review and interview preparation; career exploration
and understanding job opportunities; career advancement once a position is obtained;
work-life balance; networking; small business development; and leadership and professional
communication. If you are interested in participating, check out their website.
