Video and Introduction
The Raymond A. Mason School of Business's Center for Military Transition (CMT) is building a ground-breaking program that is not only veteran-friendly and inclusive but truly empowering. The CMT is rapidly positioning itself to be the national leader in helping veterans transition into and succeed in high-level civilian management positions.
Building on our location, our reputation, and our historic, extensive, and meaningful connections with military leaders, leading corporations, and executive partners, the CMT is developing programs to mitigate the challenges faced by transitioning service members. We seek to bridge the gaps of confidence, information, and creativity that transitioning service members often experience and to assist our graduate business student veterans as they create opportunities that connect their unique (and extensive) experience with a world-class education and extraordinary professional development opportunities.
