Every spring term, the University of Pittsburgh chapter of the Student Veterans of America conducts a bylaw review and holds elections for the next academic year.

As military-connected students, you have a unique opportunity participate in a nationally recognized chapter on our campus. Leaders can attend the SVA National Conference (NATCON), convene and engage with student, faculty, and alumni advisory boards, submit budget requests to the Student Government Board for consideration, and build a comprehensive toolkit of professional and academic development that can propel you to the next stage in your career goals to, through, and beyond your academic pursuits. 

Leaders also assist OVS with important feedback that informs our own development, events, and initiatives that improves our institutional alignment with the Plan for Pitt. We're very are excited for the chance to work with all of you!

If you are interested in learning more about SVA at Pitt, please send an email to veterans@pitt.edu. 

(Disclaimer: per current bylaws, only student veterans can serve as chapter president. All other leadership positions and committee seats are open to military-connected students of any affiliation)
