Currently Anthony Allman is doing a brief on SVA's new website. For those of you have seen the current website, the new one is a complete and total overhaul. On the new site there is an online application so we no longer have to physically mail applications , and several other huge additions; the most useful is the chapter locator. With this new feature, veterans and service members any where in the world can go to the website and find a campus with a student veterans group and thereby can find a campus that truly wants vets on their campuses. In addition, the chapter locater can be used to search by zip code.
Brendan Hart, SVA's Director of Operations, is now briefing the group on SVA's pilot program with the American Council on Education (ACE). SVA is currently working with ACE on the Severely Injured Programs where we are going to Bethesda, Balboa, Brook, and Walter Reed Medical centers and are assisting injured vets in transitioning to college. This program will link injured vets with student veterans at SVA groups across the country where they can assist them with finding housing, finding a major, picking a professor, and most importantly putting injured vets in contact with a group of individuals on campus. If you are interested in this, please contact Brendan Hart or Liz O'Herrin.
New site should go live within the next few weeks.
