Student Veterans of America reach out to Harvard vets

Hi Dr. Jim 

Student Veterans of America is embarking on many big projects this year as we expand our reach and capacity to serve student veterans. We are slated to visit many of our chapters already, but always want to network more with our members. If you are interested in having SVA leadership visit your school, email our Communications Associate atalyssa.meza@studentveterans.org

To keep you updated on these trips, we are periodically sending emails about meetings with SVA chapters and leading veteran service organizations. As always, for up-to-the-minute information on SVA, visit our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Meeting with Harvard Student Veterans: Crimson Serves

Last Friday SVA's staff leadership went to Harvard University. We visited a unique group of student veterans leading Crimson Serves, a nonprofit organization with a three-fold mission:
  1. To support a) Harvard veteran students and cadets, b) Harvard students interested in joining the military, and c) veterans, active duty, and reserve component service members interested in applying to Harvard
  2. To connect veteran and military-affiliated organizations across Harvard
  3. To provide a website that serves as a central hub of Harvard-wide veterans and military-related information and events
Recognizing that our missions are mutually supportive to military veterans, Student Veterans of America and Crimson Serves signed a partnership agreement on the steps of the Harvard Widener Memorial Library.
