Support the Naropa SVA

The Student Veterans of America® National Conference (“NatCon”) is the largest gathering of student veterans anywhere in the world. With SVA chapters at nearly 1,600 campuses across the U.S. and in several countries abroad, NatCon serves as a focal point in the academic year to share ideas, best practices, and network with veteran and military-affiliated students, their families, supporters, and allies, as well as corporate, government, and nonprofit partners, and more!

The event allows Student Veterans of America® (SVA) chapter members to make their voices heard in the heart of our Nation’s capital. Chapter members will have the chance to share their experience as student veterans with their elected officials, attend a joint hearing of Congress to watch SVA present its policy priorities, network, and experience the rich history of Washington, DC

This conference is recommended for all current chapter leaders, future chapter leaders, chapter members, and university faculty, staff, and administration involved in the chapter. The networking opportunities combined with the lessons delivered are sure to help our chapters become successful and sustainable for those who come after us.
