Student Veterans Association

The Student Veterans Association (SVA) is a student organization for veteran and military affiliated students. Students who join SVA have the opportunity to engage in the camaraderie of those who have had similar life experiences. Some of the primary goals of the SVA are to support veteran and active military students by connecting them to resources, helping with the transition to college life, advocating for their unique needs, and supporting their academic success. To join the SVA, send an email to Amy O'Keefe.
