Because of them, and with the support of the university and the rest of the board, I am confident this organization will continue to succeed.”
Outgoing President John Miccio says, “I am so grateful for the opportunity to lead such a great group of men and woman in this prestigious organization and I am confident my successor, Kierston Whaley, will only continue to help the SVO grow and succeed.”

The SVO provides a way for student veterans to get involved on campus and gives a sense of camaraderie to student veterans as they transition to academic life. The Student Veterans Organization is a place where a veteran can connect with people who have already had experience with the challenges they may encounter while transitioning to higher education.
