March 27, 2024
[Chandler, AZ, March 27, 2024] – The University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) is proud to announce a significant milestone in its history with the official recognition of its chapter by the Student Veterans of America® (SVA) national organization. This recognition heralds a major advancement in the University's commitment to supporting its military-affiliated student body and enhancing their academic and professional futures.
This achievement was made possible by the determined efforts of UAGC students and alumni who, over the past few years, have attended this conference by taking time away from their careers and families to lay the groundwork for this chapter. Their dedication is emblematic of the spirit and tenacity that defines our community.
"This recognition from the SVA isn't just about our institution's dedication to supporting our military-affiliated students; it's about the commitment that extends beyond graduation, as demonstrated by our current Chapter President," said John Aldrich, Senior Vice President of Military and Academic Partnerships at UAGC. "It's about the MySVA® resources now available to our students, including advising, goal setting, and a career center with opportunities in top defense companies like Lockheed Martin and other Fortune 500® firms eager to employ our student veterans. This is indeed just the beginning of greater things to come."
The UAGC SVA chapter stands as a beacon of opportunity, giving student veterans unique access to resources that support their academic achievements and career aspirations. UAGC remains dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all students, with a particular focus on the distinct needs of those who have served in the military. The SVA's recognition is a milestone that not only underscores the University's ongoing efforts to enrich the educational experience for its student veterans but also serves as an inspiration for continued growth and success.
