Over the past couple weeks, the Membership Committee has been discussing the potential of developing campus chapters within VFP. In fact, it was pointed out during the last committee meeting that over the past three years, VFP members in San Diego Chapter #91 have been slowly building a VFP presence on one of the local community college campuses: San Diego City College. This all started when one of the members in the chapter, who was also a student, volunteered to start working with students and faculty. With the help of Chapter #91, a student veterans group was modeled after VFP, adhering to the National Statement of Purpose. Now, the group is officially recognized by Student Affairs as a campus group. During the first weeks of September, Rush Week, the chapter will recruit veterans on campus, and afterwards, will apply for official chapter status with VFP.
