What you need to know
Student Veteran Success (SVS) is MIT’s dedicated point of contact for service members, veterans, and their dependents. We collaborate with offices across the Institute to ensure a smooth transition through your academic career and help you navigate your VA education benefits. We also serve as liaison between student veterans and state, local, and federal agencies, and assist you in achieving your personal and professional goals through advising, network building, and peer support.
MIT’s veteran population hails from every corner of the Institute and includes those who previously served in the active military, naval, or air service along with Active Duty, National Guard, Reservists, and spouses and children of veterans.
Annual drive
Each fall, SVS hosts a donation drive, in collaboration with MIT’s Community Service Fund, during the weeks leading up to Veterans Day.
The 2024 benefiting organization was Operation Delta Dog. Operating out of New Hampshire, they train shelter dogs to be service dogs and pair them with veterans who are living with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and/or military sexual trauma (MST). The dogs’ lives are filled purpose and affection, and veterans receive much-needed physical and mental support.
