Veterans Integration To Academic Leadership is VA’s approach to reaching out to student Veterans to help facilitate the transition from service member to student. The VITAL Initiative is a partnership between VA Healthcare System and local colleges and universities. They are here to help you navigate your needs and concerns and maximize your unique set of strengths, skills and life experiences as you develop and translate your interests and talents into the academic setting.
