Haas Veterans Club
Founded in 2008, the Haas Veterans Club serves U.S. and international military veterans in the Haas MBA community. Members attend veteran alumni networking events and company-hosted veteran-specific sessions, and gather weekly for happy hours at Free House. The club also supports members transitioning to civilian careers, mentors prospective military MBA applicants, and hosts Veteran's Day programming that introduces classmates to military culture. Membership is open to veterans, defense industry hopefuls, and anyone curious about military service.
