Student Veterans of America at Bristol Community College

The Student Veterans of America (SVA) chapter at Bristol Community College is open to all Bristol students and alumni. We are a student-lead organization with nationally recognized advisor Denny Cosmo, under the Bristol Student Senate and Bristol Student Engagement and Belonging. There are over 1,500 SVA chapters across the country, including our sister chapters at Bridgewater State University, UMass Dartmouth, Rhode Island College, Brown University, Bryant University, and Southern New Hampshire University. Many Bristol Veterans matriculate to these sister SVA chapters after completing their degrees here.

The Student Veterans of America chapter at Bristol Community College empowers peers leveraging our rich military history and intellectual curiosity of the college into one of the most active student-lead organizations in the area. We embody the Warrior-Scholar ethos believing "the nation that makes a great distinction between its Scholars and its Warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools". We are proud of our past service and optimistic about our professional future by embracing with our current role as military connected Bristol Students. We are Bristol Veterans. We Are SVA.
