The CSU Veteran & Military Student Success Center has as its short name LZ 53 or Landing Zone 53. LZ is easy to remember and this is the place where we hope all veteran and military -connected students at CSU will land.  Why "53" though?  During World War II Fenn College, the predecessor to Cleveland State University, was home to the 53rd Cadet Training Detachment of the U.S. Army Air Force.  The 53rd CDT was a ground school for future USAAF pilots, navigators, and bombardiers. The choice to use "53" is to show an unbroken connection between all veteran and military-connected students who have attended Fenn College & Cleveland State University.
