The Chico State Student Veteran Organization has been invited as guests on 90.1 FM, KZFR “The Point is…” on Saturday March 21 from 9:00-11:00 am.

20% of all REGULAR priced orders with coupon presented will be donated to Chico State Student Veterans. Your support is important, please spread the word, we need a large turnout.

The Chico State SVO is attending a national conference of the Student Veterans of America. The conference will focus on providing student veterans with information they can use on their campuses to make a positive impact. It includes two days of workshops, and exhibitor and employment fair, and plenty of networking opportunities. Chico State SVO is sending 7 student veterans to San Francisco for this 3-day conference. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to helping the student veterans finance their trip.


Conversations on Diversity- Troops to College

Wednesday March 25th @ 12:00pm in BMU 210.


The Chico State Student Veteran Organization, in partnership with Disability Support Services and the Office of Diversity, will be facilitating and speaking at a panel discussion on Wednesday March 25th @ 12:00pm in BMU 210. Please show support by attending and engaging in the conversation.

The Conversations on Diversity series (COD) focuses on the complexities of group and individual identities and how they influence one another. The gatherings provide a safe space for members of the campus community to consider the often sensitive issues surrounding identity. In providing a forum for the many voices on our campus to be heard, the hope is that, through education and conversation, there can be enlightenment, understanding, and acceptance. The Chico State Student Veteran Organization will be discussing our identities as student veterans and our experiences transitioning from the military to college.


Women in Combat: Lioness Documentary Screening

Wednesday March 25th @ 7:00pm in BMU 304. Free! For more info, call Wes 530-592-9310


The Chico State Student Veteran Organization, in partnership with the Associated Students’ Women’s Center, is presenting a free screening of the award-winning documentary about women in combat; Lioness. Lioness tells the story of a group of female Army support soldiers who were part of the first program in American history to send women into direct ground combat. Told through intimate accounts, journal excerpts, archival footage, as well as interviews with military commanders, the film follows five Lioness women who served together for a year in Iraq. With captivating detail, this probing documentary reveals the unexpected consequences that began by using these Army women to defuse tensions with local civilians, but resulted in their fighting alongside Marine combat units in the streets of Ramadi. Together the women's candid narratives describing their experiences in Iraq and scenes from their lives back home form a portrait of the emotional and psychological effects of war from a female point of view.

Snacks and beverages will be provided. This event will be facilitated by Wes Shockley, an OIF veteran and social work student.

Child-care will most likely be unavailable so please make necessary arrangements prior to attending. For more info or RSVP, call Wes 530-592-9310.

  7. First of all I would like to say wonderful blog! I had
    a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
    head before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas
    out. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to
    begin. Any suggestions or hints? Kudos!

  10. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in
    Chrome. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to
    let you know. The design and style look great though!

    Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Many thanks
