Relationships, partnerships, and collaborations are the catalysts for creating lasting, impactful change in the lives of military Veterans and their families. Created by Dr. Jeni Hunniecutt, an Army National Guard Veteran, Veteran studies researcher, and Veteran advocate, VetREC has a vision of influencing all Veteran research and programs to be community-engaged. Because when lived experience is at the heart of research and program development, true change happens, and communities are transformed.
