Xavier Veteran Employee Team (XVET)

 

Who we are and how to get involved

XVET was formed in January 2019, as a collection of faculty and staff who identify as Armed Forces Veterans or advocates of Veterans. Our charge is to serve as a group committed to investing in the professional development of Xavier’s Veteran workforce while keeping the campus community informed about Veteran issues.

There are no requirements to be a member of XVET, just a desire to support and encourage our Veteran Employees. XVET meets on the 3rd Monday of each month from 12:00-1:00 in the Student Veterans Conference Room, CLC 529. If you have, questions please contact us at xvet@xavier.edu.
