The Student Veterans of America: UW-Milwaukee chapter is a campus student organization open to UWM student veterans, active military, their dependents, and supporters. Current SVA leadership and members’ goals are to connect members with campus and community service projects in the Milwaukee and surrounding area.
History of the SVA at UWM
In 2012, two graduate students, both veterans, came together to establish UW-Milwaukee’s Student Veterans of America (SVA) chapter. In three months, more than 50 students had signed up to become members of the organization. Since that time, the SVA has been recognized each year as one of the top student organizations at UWM, and in 2014, was selected as the number one student organization on campus. Through dedicated leadership, SVA has enhanced the UWM student veteran experience by advocating, volunteering, and establishing impactful programming for their comrades.
