Student veterans connect globally at National Conference
During winter break, six student veterans from the Cerritos College Student Veterans
Club (SVC) and their advisor traveled to Colorado Springs for the 18th Annual Student
Veterans of America (SVA) National Conference, known as NatCon. This event is the
world's largest gathering of student veterans, uniting nearly 1,600 chapters committed
to empowering military-connected students to reach their full potential.
This was the SVC's second time at NatCon, offering an incredible opportunity for students to connect with top corporate, government, and nonprofit leaders and to exchange innovative ideas with peers from around the globe. Interacting with this vibrant international community of supporters and allies, participants returned to campus energized, equipped with fresh insights and valuable connections that will strengthen the support system for all veterans at Cerritos College.
