The 麻豆影院 will host Military Student Day on March 21 to assist military service members interested in transitioning from military service to life as a college student.

鈥淢ilitary Student Day is designed to allow service members the opportunity to ask questions of current CU-麻豆影院 staff and student veterans about the admissions process and what it is like to be a CU Buff,鈥� Roberts said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e committed to supporting Colorado鈥檚 military community and are excited about this inaugural event to assist service members in making an informed decision about their educational pursuits.鈥�
