Student Veterans Organization (SVO)

Want to Connect with other Veterans or students with similar interests? 

The Pikes Peak Student Veterans Organization (SVO) is dedicated to supporting students in the transition from military to college life and to enrich

the community with veteran sponsored and patriotic events.

 

We work on providing resources, support, and advocacy needed for student success. We also aim to create fun, engaging and inclusive events to build community for all.

The SVO is a chapter of Student Veterans of America (SVA), a national coalition of campus veterans support groups focused specifically on improving conditions and support for student veterans.

All students are welcome to join and attend events. If you are interested in leading or becoming a member of the SVO, please see below.
