We are excited to continue to expand to additional schools!
Selection criteria
In order to ensure that the schools selected are the right fit for the program, we have established the following criteria:
- Student veteran leadership buy-in to implement peer support on their campus
- Campus administration support for the PAVE program
- Staff and student capacity to implement PAVE
- Ability to identify and connect with incoming student veterans
Additionally, we evaluate factors such as existing student veteran services and programming on campus, how active the SVA chapter or student veteran group is, and potential strengths and barriers to implementation.
