The MRC serves as a one-stop information and referral site to help students transition to college life. IUP has a distinguished history of supporting its veterans, the earliest known Indiana State Normal School (ISNS) students to serve in the armed services were in the Spanish-American War in 1898. Following World War Two, many veterans took advantage of the G.I. Bill and became students at Indiana State Teachers College (ISTC) in the 1940s.
