Welcome to Veterans@VT At Gobblerfest

What is Veterans@VT? We are a student run organization including veterans and dependents of veterans who attend Virginia Tech. Our organization has over 400 students on campus throughout the different colleges. Comprise the SVA (Student Veterans Association) chapter on campus.

Identify Issues Last semester we partnered with students to identify discrepancies in VT's perception of veteran students. The overwhelming statistical results were that veterans were not identified on campus and services for them were limited to educational benefits. Feel free to read the pamphlets on the table.

Provide Information We find local veteran related events in the area and pass on the information to our community

Resources A great support network through the Office of Veteran Services and faculty. VetZone: a free lounge in Squires where veterans/dependents can rest, study, and eat with friends. Coordinate with VA Veteran Services for VT veterans We are fellow veterans who students can relate about previous experiences.

Create Events Our members vote on events that would interest them or ways for them to interact with their local community
