 Student Veteran’s Association
Each campus has a Student Veteran’s Association. These organizations have activities such as the Veteran’s Day Ceremony, collections of care packages for deployed units and for military families in need, fall and spring family cook-outs, and work with Operation Home front along with the QC Stand Down event. Our organizations also work together with St. Ambrose, Blackhawk College and Western Illinois University Student Veterans’ Associations to provide opportunities for networking, various educational workshops and speaking engagements with congress and state representatives about the veterans’ various unique issues and needs.
