The History of AU Vets
AU Vets was founded in the fall of 2008 by Murat Aykut (US
Army) and Brandon Krapf (US Army). There were no other veteran groups on campus, so Brandon and Murat created AU Vets with the
aim to assist veterans in transitioning from a military career to life
as a college student. What sets Veterans of American University apart
from other on-campus groups and even other Student Veterans of America chapters, is the goal to
embody the "combat to campus" message by serving a cohesive community,
in which military and non-military people interact, bond, and
discuss pertinent issues on professional and social levels.
The Veterans of American University live by
this message, opening arms to members from all walks of life, be they
current military personnel, former military personnel, civilians,
students, or faculty.
Brandon is also the also the founder and President of our sister organization, AU Vets Alumni Association, which launched in fall of 2011.
