SVP Mission Statement

The members of the SVP are dedicated to satisfying the needs of any veteran, Active Duty, reservist, and dependents of the Oregon Tech and KCC community during and after their time as a student, staff, or faculty.

With the direction of the elected officers of SVP, the support of KCC Veterans Club, and the assistance of the Campus Veterans Service Officer (CVSO), the SVP shall reach out to the greater Oregon Tech and Klamath community and seek ways of building friendships and partnerships that are based on the same honor, duty, loyalty, and selfless service instilled in all veterans.

The SVP Lounge is located on the 1st Floor of the College Union building, in the same hallway as KTEC. These programs have a separate entrance near the southern outdoor stairs.
