Military Connected Student Orgs
Student Veterans of America (SVA)
The Student Veterans Association (SVA) is a student-led organization made up of veterans, service members, dependents, survivors, and military-connected allies.
At UNC, our SVA chapter creates a welcoming space for student veterans and military-affiliated students to connect, lead, and grow. Members build professional skills, form lasting friendships, and give back through community service, social events, and campus engagement.
