The Veterans club at Bucks County Community College serves to aid Veterans and their families members who are current students at Bucks. Providing support, resources, and programs for returning military men and women is the sole purpose of the club.

The Veterans club is a non-profit organization. The club also assist veterans in meeting their goals during their time at Bucks, while providing a friendly and supportive environment.

Club meetings are held at the Bristol and Newtown Campuses, typically on Thursdays at 1pm. Club members, that include veterans who use the Stars and Stripes Lounge, attend the club meetings.

The Stars and Stripes Lounge is a quiet-hideaway, on the Bucks campus, designated for Veterans. The Lounge is a place for veterans to use a computer, complete homework, watch TV, collect resources, or relax and connect with other Veterans.

For club advisor Matt Cipriano, he says, “I believe in supporting our military men and women who are pursuing a degree, they have unique challenges and I want to help them.”
