Student Veterans Club

The Gavilan College Student Veterans Club was founded in Fall of 2011 by a group of student veterans interested in helping veterans and families of veterans succeed and adapt to academic life at a community college.

The club has many goals, some of which are improving veterans services at Gavilan College, mentoring student veterans, raising veterans awareness and understanding on campus, and working with the Gavilan extended community to foster veteran success.

For more information about the club, please use the contact information at the bottom of this page, or inquire at Theater 128.
