The Student Veterans Alliance is amid its Sock Drive for troops overseas for the Warm Feet for Warriors project which began Feb. 1. The SVA competes with other chapters across North Texas to gather the most sock donations from Feb. 1 to March 28. The group asks for newly bought socks in their original package to be donated. Those who choose to donate can drop off socks at the Veterans Resource Center in Jarvis Hall. The SVA is a campus organization that works to help veterans and military-connected students transition from military life to college life. “The SVA is a group that wraps themselves around veterans as they come into school and say hey, this is your community, because as you can imagine as a traditional student you have different experiences from someone who spent multiple years in the military,” Brandy Merrell, a junior actuarial science major and the president of SVA, said. Merrell emphasized the importance of having clean and comfortable socks while serving.
