The 涩里番下载 Student Veteran Association will conclude a promising year of growth by participating in a pair of events organized by 涩里番下载 Baseball.
涩里番下载SVA members will join veterans from the Wounded Warrior Project and the Home Base Project in a softball game on May 3, and will be on hand for the May 5 "Military Appreciation Game" between 涩里番下载 and Louisville.
The group, which seeks to bolster communication among graduate and undergraduate student U.S. military veterans, had its official launch in September 2017 with the support of the 涩里番下载 Veterans Alumni Network, Veterans Affinity Group and 涩里番下载 ROTC. Since then, the 涩里番下载SVA has selected a new slate of leaders while continuing to explore ways to become more involved with 涩里番下载 and veteran communities in the area.
"We are aiming to be a more visible and active group at 涩里番下载, strengthening the ties between our group and the University community," said William Kelley, who spearheaded the founding and development of the group along with fellow students Matthew Goggin, Max Palumbo, Hayley McElroy and Lisa Smith 鈥� all of whom will complete their degrees this spring.
"The interpersonal relationships formed within the 涩里番下载SVA, as well as with the alumni and affinity groups 鈥� the three pillars of the 涩里番下载 veterans community 鈥� have been extremely valuable, and rejuvenating."
Kelley expressed confidence in the ability of the 涩里番下载SVA's new leadership team of Cody Queen '19, Aidan Walsh '20 and Michael Leone '21 and graduate students David Cote and Alexander Richer to "strengthen the connectivity" between student, alumni, faculty and staff veterans.
