A Place for Veterans to Find Answers: Vet Connect 26 at MTSU's James Union Building April 25

MURFREESBORO, TN (WGNS) - Sometimes you need help and have no clue where to turn, or even if help is out there? That’s something many veterans quietly face after years of serving America. Here’s a bit of good news for anyone feeling that way: on Saturday, April 25, 2026, a full‑scale Veteran Resource Fair is coming to MTSU’s James Union Building, 516 Alma Mater Drive in Murfreesboro. Doors open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and the welcome mat is out for all area veterans, active‑duty service members, reservists, and their families.

The event, officially known as SVA BRAVO Vet Connect 26, is hosted by the MTSU Student Veterans Association and the Charlie and Hazel Daniels Veterans and Military Family Center. Together, they’re creating a one‑stop space where veterans can explore benefits, meet local organizations, and talk with people who understand the challenges of transitioning from military to civilian life.

Vet Connect 26 is built around a simple idea: connection. The Daniels Center has long been recognized as one of the most comprehensive veteran support hubs on any U.S. campus, and this Veteran Resource Fair extends that mission into the wider community. Inside the Tennessee Ballroom at the James Union Building, visitors will find representatives who can answer questions about federal and state benefits, education opportunities, job pathways, health and wellness programs, and community services ranging from legal aid to housing support. Past events have also offered résumé guidance, employer meet‑and‑greets, and plenty of chances to network with fellow veterans.

It’s the kind of event where you can walk in with questions and walk out with a plan—or at least a clearer sense of what’s possible. Whether you’re looking for resources, direction, or simply a place where people “get it,” Vet Connect 26 is designed to make that first step easier.

Don’t miss it. This could be the day a new chapter begins.
