The Citrus College Veterans Program began in January 2006 when Professor Dr. Bruce O. Solheim got together with a few veteran students and started the Citrus College Veterans Network (CCVN).

In addition to starting the CCVN, we also started the Citrus College Veterans Book Fund and an annual Veterans Day celebration.

Citrus College was recently awarded a Center of Excellence for Veteran Student Success (CEVSS), grant by the Department of Education. This award provides funds for various program services for veterans attending Citrus College.
