As a member, you will have the opportunity to provide feedback and input on Military and Veteran Friendly Campus activities and initiatives that directly impact current and future students. The MVFC Student Advisory Committee also acts as a resource and focus group for various campus programs and services that support or contribute to the successful transition of Military and Veteran students into campus and civilian life.

The MVFC Student Advisory Committee provides feedback and advice on topics such as:

  • Services that should be available
  • External stakeholders that should be included
  • Identifying best ways to connect with other Veterans
  • Determining workshop and information session topics
  • Building peer support opportunities
  • Supporting and engaging in campus community recreational activities and sports
  • Career support
  • Outlining key Navigation supports required during transition

These are just some of the activities and feedback that the MVFC Student Advisory Committee will participate in.

Join us to gain valuable experience in a committee setting and build relationships with university staff and other Military and Veteran students who are passionate about supporting this initiative.
