As a student group on campus, CapVets (Campus Veterans' Empowerment Team) aims to provide support and resources to students who have served in the military or are veterans. The organization's mission is to create a safe and inclusive space for members to share their experiences and connect with one another.
CapVets has been on campus since 2018, and its leadership team consists of student volunteers who dedicate time to organizing events, hosting discussions, and providing emotional support. The group's activities range from annual service days to quarterly social gatherings, where members can share their stories and connect with others who have experienced similar struggles.
"The Wait Operation Timed Out" is a recent event organized by CapVets to raise awareness about the importance of mental health support for veterans. The organization partnered with local organizations that provide services specifically tailored to veterans, and together they raised over $1,000 in donations and funds.
CapVets' dedication to providing resources and support is a testament to their commitment to creating a more inclusive and supportive community on campus. As the student body continues to grow and change, CapVets remains an essential part of that process, working tirelessly behind the scenes to empower students who may not have access to these same resources.
