[Students] Chili's Promotion for the Student Veteran Association

[Jill Mobley]

Good morning everyone! Chili's restaurant in Greenville has partnered
with our Student Veteran Association to help us raise funds! Now
supporting Texas A&M University - Commerce Student Veterans is as easy
as going out to eat! Just bring the attached flyer in with you anytime
on Monday, July 9th and Chili's will donate 10% of the days sales to the
SVA! 

 

This event is designed to help the Veterans raise funds for the current
top three goals of the SVA: their own "Give Back" projects around the
community; provide refreshments for volunteer events and the Veteran
Appreciation Ball in November and help the SVA members establish a study
and research area in the Veteran's lounge.

 

We have found that many of the Veterans coming in to school have not
been to school in a while and need a little bit of support adjusting. It
is hard for many to relate to the "normal" college student here because
of age and life experience differences. This Association allows Veterans
to befriend and get help from people with a shared life experience. Our
goal is to create a long lasting partnership within the community of
Commerce while providing solid role models and leaders throughout the
college campus.

 

The SVA provides an important social service to Veterans coming into the
next phase of their lives. Many Veterans are coming into school now with
PTSD issues and have a bit of a rocky transition. The SVA provides links
to the Disability Services offices, hosts monthly seminars with the same
offices, arranges tutors for academic assistance, and provides a
Veterans Lounge as a neutral place where Veterans can go to decompress.
An organization like this provides Veterans with the reassurance that
they are not going through this transition alone and that there are
other people on campus who can relate to them.

 

It is a wonderful organization and cause and we greatly appreciate your
support!
