Student Veterans of America |
SVA is a 501(c)(3) coalition of student veterans groups on college campuses across the globe. These member chapters are the "boots on the ground” that help veterans reintegrate into campus life and succeed academically. Each chapter must be an officially recognized student group by their university or college and provide a peer-to-peer network for veterans who are attending the school. Additionally, chapters often coordinate campus activities, provide pre-professional networking, and generally provide a touchstone for student veterans in higher education.

Last week the SVA team had the pleasure of visiting the Northeastern University Student Veterans Organization, a chapter of SVA. We toured key areas of the campus dedicated to recognizing and supporting military veterans. Our first stop was the Veterans Memorial, centrally located on campus for all students and visitors to see. The Memorial displays the names of all Northeastern University troops that have fallen since WWII. Not too far from the memorial was a small, but important, space recently designated by Northeastern University as a Veterans Office. Later that night, SVA’s executive director spoke at a Welcome Dinner organized by the Northeastern University Student Veterans Organization.
