An Integral Part of CCRI's Collective Conscience

Ever since our school was founded in 1964, student veterans have been an integral
part of CCRI's collective conscience. By 1976, student veterans organized a club to
speak to, and on the behalf of, veterans. This was known as the RIJC (Rhode Island
Junior College) Veterans' Club.
Established Fall 2010

In the Fall 2010, The Student Veterans Organization (SVO) of CCRI was established
and officially recognized as a chapter of the Student Veterans of America. Under this
parent organization, SVO chapter leaders and members attended many leadership and
networking events designed to highlight student veteran success. This included National
Conventions, Leadership Summits, and Leadership Institutes all over the country.
All CCRI Students are Welcomed to Join!
The SVO also demonstrates leadership on campus and in the Ocean State. Many fundraisers
and social events are held to build a sense of community and donate to various charities.
Our chapter is always looking for motivated members, committee chairs, and Executive
Board Leaders. All CCRI students are welcomed to join. This includes dependents and
civilians with no military connection who value veteran causes. The SVO values the
diversity of thought and experience each member brings to the conversation. Follow
us on Instagram and Facebook. To be an official member of the SVO at CCRI, follow this two-step process:
