Organizations Filed Purposes:
STUDENT VETERANS OF AMERICA (SVA) IS THE PREMIER ORGANIZATION LEADING SERVICE, RESEARCH, PROGRAMS, AND ADVOCACY FOR VETERANS IN HIGHER EDUCATION. SVA ELEVATES THE ACADEMIC, PROFESSIONAL, AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENT VETERANS AND MILITARY-AFFILIATED STUDENTS
TO PROVIDE MILITARY VETERANS WITH THE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT TO SUCCEED IN HIGHER EDUCATION.
NATIONAL CONFERENCE (NATCON) NATCON IS THE LARGEST ANNUAL CONVENING OF STUDENT VETERANS AND POST-9/11 VETERANS IN THE COUNTRY, BRINGING TOGETHER OUR NATION'S CHAPTER LEADERS, STAKEHOLDERS, ADVOCATES, AND SUPPORTERS WHO WORK ON BEHALF OF VETERANS AND MILITARY-AFFILIATED STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION. STUDENT VETERANS ATTEND NATCON TO LEARN HOW TO MANAGE SOME OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COUNTRY, AND TO NETWORK WITH THEIR PEERS AS TOMORROW'S LEADERS. PAST SPEAKERS INCLUDE PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN, VA SECRETARY BOB MCDONALD, AND MANY OTHERS. EACH NATCON FEATURES GROUNDBREAKING KEYNOTES AND MORE THAN 90 BREAKOUT SESSIONS IN ALL AREAS OF ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING THE LATEST RESEARCH FINDINGS ON STUDENT VETERAN SUCCESS AND ADVOCACY STRATEGIES. THOUSANDS OF ATTENDEES AND 100+ EXHIBITORS AND SPONSORS ATTEND NATCON EVERY YEAR.
RESEARCH SVA'S LEARNING & MEASUREMENT STRATEGY FOCUSES ON BETTER UNDERSTANDING STUDENT VETERANS' EDUCATIONAL LIFE CYCLE JOURNEY-TO, THROUGH, AND BEYOND HIGHER EDUCATION. THE CORNERSTONE OF THIS WORK IS THE LIFE CYCLE ATLAS. THE PROJECT ANALYZES THE EDUCATION LIFECYCLE OF HUNDREDS OF STUDENT VETERANS, UNLOCKING KEY DECISION POINTS AND THE OUTCOMES ASSOCIATED WITH EACH DECISION. RESULTS OF THIS RESEARCH ARE PUBLISHED IN REAL TIME VIA INTERACTIVE DATA VISUALS THAT ILLUSTRATE PIVOTAL STUDENT VETERAN DECISIONS WITHIN THE EDUCATIONAL LIFE CYCLE. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE VETERANS FACING A DECISION AT ANY POINT IN THEIR EDUCATIONAL LIFECYCLE WITH AN INSTRUMENT TO EXPLORE AND EVALUATE DIFFERENT OUTCOMES BASED ON THE COLLECTIVE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, WE MAINTAIN A STRONG COMMITMENT TO MEASURING THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI) OF THE POST-9/11 GI BILL; THE FOUNDATION OF THIS WORK IS THE NATIONAL VETERAN EDUCATION SUCCESS TRACKER (NVEST) PROJECT A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP LED BY SVA IN COLLABORATION WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS AND THE NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE. CONTINUED NVEST RESEARCH WILL EXPAND TO INCLUDE STUDENT VETERANS' PATH TO THEIR INITIAL DEGREE, HIGHEST LEVEL OF DEGREE EARNED, AND IN-DEPTH COHORT ANALYSIS. SVA'S RESEARCH CONSISTENTLY PROVIDES AN ACCURATE PROFILE OF TODAY'S STUDENT VETERAN AND DEMONSTRATES THE BENEFITS OF STUDENT VETERANS EARNING A COLLEGE DEGREE.
CHAPTER SERVICES AND PROGRAMS A DEDICATED NETWORK OF CHAPTERS AND CHAPTER LEADERS ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF SVA. EVERY DAY THESE PASSIONATE LEADERS WORK TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY RESOURCES, NETWORK SUPPORT, AND ADVOCACY TO ENSURE STUDENT VETERANS CAN EFFECTIVELY CONNECT, EXPAND THEIR SKILLS, AND ULTIMATELY ACHIEVE THEIR GREATEST POTENTIAL, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT PEER-TO-PEER SUPPORT FACILITATES POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS. THESE CHAPTERS ARE BUILT UPON THE GRASSROOTS EFFORTS OF INDIVIDUAL STUDENT VETERANS WHO RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT ON THEIR CAMPUS. CHAPTER SERVICES AND PROGRAMS FROM THE NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS SUPPORT THE CREATION, SUSTAINMENT, AND GROWTH OF CHAPTERS. WE ADVISE ON THE CREATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A STRATEGIC PLAN TO HELP CHAPTERS FOCUS THEIR EFFORTS AND ESTABLISH CLEAR PRIORITIES WITH A FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING THEIR UNIQUE CAMPUS COMMUNITY. WE SHARE LEADING PRACTICES AND FACILITATE MENTORSHIP VIA OUR CHAPTER CONSULTATION SESSIONS. WE ALSO OFFER ONLINE TRAINING FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN WEBINAR-BASED SESSIONS. WE CONNECT OUR CHAPTERS WITH EACH OTHER TO PLAN REGIONAL EVENTS AND ENGAGE WITH STUDENT VETERANS ON ADVOCACY AND POLICY CHANGES AT THE CAMPUS, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVELS. FINALLY, WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH CHAPTERS TO HELP MEMBERS BUILD MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY, BUSINESS, AND INDUSTRY LEADERS.
