Northeast Lakeview College opens $12 million veteran support center

Officials at Northeast Lakeview College celebrated its veteran population with the opening of a new support center, the Nighthawk Legacy Center, on Nov. 11.

The details: The 11,000-square-foot center, located at 1201 Kitty Hawk Road in Universal City, operates as a standalone facility dedicated to serving veteran and military-connected students. The Nighthawk Legacy Center is a direct response to the veteran student population growth the college has seen. Approximately 11% of students enrolled at the college used veteran benefits in the 2024-25 school year, Northeast Lakeview President Dr. Veronica Garcia said in a news release.

“[The center] will allow us to better serve those individuals who selflessly served our country and provide enhanced support for their families who champion for a loved one during their time of service,” Garcia said.

The support center offers military education benefits information and assists with the transition from military life to civilian life. The Nighthawk Legacy Center also offers a veteran mentoring program.
