How To Get Involved
All students are encouraged to get involved on campus and in the community. Below are a few options to get connected, though students can also connect with the Veteran Services Advisor for more information.
Academic Internships and Research Opportunities
All students are encouraged to engage in academic internships and research opportunities. Many majors offer academic credit for these experiences. Students should refer to their major department or the Career Center for more information!
Events and Observances
Our office puts on events for military-affiliated students throughout the year and around certain observances. Events are currently advertised through our MAVRC email listserv. All students are encouraged to attend these events!
Student Veteran Organization
SSU’s student-led organization for military-connected students, SVC is a Student Veterans of America chapter. Current and incoming students interested in getting involved can sign up for email alerts through Engage@SSU (requires campus credentials). You can also reach MAVRC (Military and Veteran Resource Center) via email: veterans@sonoma.edu for further information.
VA Work Study
If you are using your VA Educational Benefits (Chapter Benefits), you can apply to be paid for work through the VA. Your job must be directly related to supporting veterans, reservists, dependents, and active duty. While we do have VA work study positions in MAVRC, there are other approved VA Work Study sites! This is available to any student enrolled using VA Educational Benefits. Please contact MAVRC via email: veterans@sonoma.edu or the main line: (707) 664-2031.
