PRINCE FAMILY VETERANS RESOURCE CENTER
The Prince Family Veterans Resource Center provides the Office of Veterans and Military Service Members with a presence and greater visibility on Villanova’s campus, as it serves as a liaison, advocate and adviser to current and prospective student veterans, alumni and other Villanova community members. It also serves as a one-stop location for veteran-focused programming, Veterans Affairs (VA) benefit and career counseling and military-to-civilian transition.
Located in Vasey Hall, The Prince Family Resource Center serves as the student common area for studying and networking and houses a designated location for hosting veteran-focused programming and a place for student veterans to congregate and build community.
About the Center, Villanova’s President said:
“Veterans have been—and will continue to be—important members of the Villanova community, and we want to do all that we can to support them and their families. I am extremely grateful for Brian Prince’s generous gift, which will have a lasting impact on many students and alumni and will help Villanova continue to be a leader in educating veterans and active members of the military.”

About Brian F. Prince
"From knowing family members, friends and colleagues who have served in the military, I don’t believe civilians are capable of fully understanding the sacrifices made and difficulties faced by veterans as they continue their journey post-service. I am humbled and thankful to be able to assist these veterans in their quest for continued success. Through various relationships and interactions with members of the Villanova University community, I have become aware of Villanova’s laudable attention to and support of its veteran students.” - Brian F.
