NC STRIVE invites you to join us for our inaugural conference in which we will share best practices to better serve our nation’s veterans, service members, and their family members in seeking higher education.  This cutting edge conference will facilitate statewide emphasis for all levels of higher education to enhance the support of our Veteran’s enrollment and success in school.  Held in the auditorium of the North Carolina National Guard Headquarters in Raleigh, the conference is the culmination of the work of a collaborative partnership between federal and state agencies, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations.
