Military & Veterans Resource Center (MAVRC)
Located among the pines on the northwest end of campus, Whitworth's Military & Veterans Resource Center (MAVRC) is a 3,000-square-foot facility dedicated to all military-connected students attending Whitworth – military members, veterans, their dependents and ROTC cadets. Whether you need a place to decompress, build community or share your experiences with other military-connected students, the MAVRC welcomes you.

The MAVRC includes its own computer lab with free printing, group study/meeting place, community space including a living room with a large TV and surround sound speakers for watching movies or sports and a recreation room with Xbox, darts and foosball, kitchen stocked with snacks, complimentary laundry room, outdoor patio, and a rest and relaxation space for individuals who may be struggling with PTS or traumatic brain injuries or who just need a quiet place to decompress. The center is open during regular business hours with access upon request after normal business hours and on the weekends.
