The council meets once a semester to engage in discourse about opportunities for growth and engagement for the military community within Duke at-large.
We discuss past and future veterans events, various initiatives in the Office of Student Veterans and student veteran organizations, and ways in which student veteran organizations can better engage with and serve the community.
These meetings are open to all interested military-affiliated students.
Please email us to add yourself to the list and be included in future Student Veteran Leadership Council meetings.
