Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! 🇺🇸

In honor of the Marine Corps’ birthday, we’re proud to spotlight one of our outstanding Marine veterans here at UVA, Terry.

Before joining the UVA community, Terry honorably served in the United States Marine Corps in Aviation, earning several medals in recognition of his dedication and service. After his time in the military, he gained valuable experience in real estate construction and project management before pursuing higher education at UVA.

Terry is now double majoring in Global Commerce & Society, and Foreign Policy & Leadership, driven by a personal mission to create a lasting legacy through service, purpose, and giving back to others.
An active leader on Grounds, Terry serves as Secretary for the Student Veterans of America at UVA and is a proud member of The Jefferson Council. Beyond Grounds, he continues his engagement as a member of both The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and the Military Officers Association of America.
We are honored to have Terry as part of our veteran community at UVA. His leadership, dedication, and spirit of service continue to inspire everyone around him.

Semper Fi, and Happy Birthday to the Marines! 🎉

Veterans Day is right around the corner, and we’re excited to highlight the amazing veterans who make our UVA community so special.

Meet Matt!

Matt has proudly served in the Army Reserve for five years as an Intelligence Analyst and is now continuing his remarkable journey at UVA. He’s double majoring in Global Studies and Economics, with hopes of pursuing a career in humanitarian law.

Outside the classroom, Matt leads adventures as a trip leader for the UVA Outdoors Club and plays bass in a local band, bringing both leadership and creativity to everything he does.

We’re proud to have veterans like Matt in the UVA community. Congratulations, Matt, on all you’ve achieved and everything still to come!

Our Story

We began as a loose group of student vets in the fall of 2016 who noticed a distinct lack of undergraduate veterans at UVA and have been working since then to track currently enrolled vets and attract more to the University. We have worked successfully with the administration to reform some practices in regards to GI Bill and benefits access, and are looking forward to establishing a permanent space on Grounds for vets. If you or someone you know is a student vet at UVA, please join us and/or refer your friends!
