Rutgers CMSI and Student Veterans of America Partner to Support Student Veterans at MSIs

Press
09/28/2021

Washington, D.C., September 27, 2021 — The Rutgers Center for Minority Serving Institutions (CMSI) has partnered with Student Veterans of America (SVA) to foster meaningful relationships and aid student veterans and military-connected family members attending Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) with tools to navigate higher education.

SVA’s research has helped to spearhead public policy changes that affect all veterans in higher education, including those that have been historically excluded. Through reaching those veterans and their families attending MSIs, SVA and CMSI will provide better support and advocacy for minority veterans.

SVA has longstanding relationships with higher education institutions both national and international. With this partnership, SVA and CMSI will conduct targeted outreach and gather more data on the diversity of military families and their needs. This data will play a key role in advocacy efforts, implementing change in veteran legislation, professional development, campus veteran culture, and aiding those in transition from the military to the civilian workforce.

The partnership also intends to raise awareness of the diversity of Minority Serving Institutions and the intersectionality of student veterans and military-connected students. CMSI and SVA will share relevant content for student veterans and affiliates on social media, through email outreach, and on regularly scheduled podcasts. Student veterans, their families, SVA Chapters, allies and supporters, and supporting organizations will be highlighted in the coming months.
