Founded in 2025, the Student Outreach Association (SOA) supports military-connected students through leadership programs and mentorship, promoting values of service, resilience, and community. It aims to ease their educational journey by connecting them with resources and networks while ensuring that service extends beyond the military uniform into leadership and community impact.
