Approximately 80,000 veterans, active-duty military members, reservists, and their dependents enroll in a California community college each year. The California Community Colleges Veterans Summit 2026 will bring together professionals from community colleges, four-year universities, California state agencies, and national partners to learn strategies and best practices for serving our student veterans more effectively.

The 13th Annual Veterans Summit will take place June 15-17, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt in Indian Wells, California.

Your partnership and support of this premier event is an opportunity to highlight your commitment to the nation’s largest system of higher education and to our nation’s veterans.

• This event will reach hundreds of faculty, staff, administrators, and trustees from the California Community Colleges, California State University, and the University of California, as well as private universities, who support student veterans and military dependents across the state in their educational journey.
• Partnerships offer opportunities to exchange ideas with system leaders and showcase your organization’s commitment to services supporting student veterans.
