Marywood University's Student Veteran Alliance

The Marywood University Student Veteran Alliance (SVA) has been named an official chapter of the Student Veterans of America.

Mission Statement: Marywood University's Student Veteran Alliance is the embodiment of Marywood University’s academic mission and core values. MWU SVA will promote leadership, development and good citizenship for students at Marywood University.  Through outreach and service the club will enhance the Marywood community and enrich the lives of military service members, veterans, and their families, both on campus and in the community.  MWU SVA will give veterans and their families a place to network with one another, share resources, as well as their experiences while serving in the US Military. Student Veteran Alliance will be a unique club on Marywood’s campus, since it will help foster community service, honor, and education; while empowering veterans to actively transition from military service to civilian life.

The SVA has six main goals.

• To raise awareness and conduct outreach to the university and local community on issues and needs of military service members, veterans, and their families;
• To provide a forum for interaction, discussion, and learning between veterans, students, faculty, and community;
• To build relationships between veterans, their families, and the Marywood faculty, staff, administration, and student body;
• To share resources that are available to veterans and families internally at Marywood and within the external community;
• To provide service and support to organizations which benefit military service members, veterans, and their families; 
  
• Plan, prepare, and organize Veterans Day events and activities on Marywood’s campus, and provide additional social events for the community.
