About the SVA

The University of Southern Mississippi - Student Veterans of America (SVA) was established to serve our Veterans, Service Members and their Families in honoring their sacrifices and commitment to Our Nation.  We strive to promote the memories of our Veterans of the past by serving those who have elected to make Southern Miss their University home. 

We are a non-profit organization with goals in promoting outreach efforts, membership drives, campus-wide engagement and scholarship development.

Being a member of the Southern Miss SVA or the SVA Spouse or Family Member Auxiliary Program opens doors for you to a larger Family.  Membership is open to any Veteran, Service Member, Military Spouse or Family Member attending USM as a full or part-time student.

The members of this organization associate themselves as an advocacy group for servicemen and servicewomen of every branch of the United States Military. This organization is associated with a national organization.
