GU VET Ally Program Sticker

​Purpose: To highlight the importance of visibility of Allies, participants are introduced to the VET Ally decal to display on their office door or other visible location in their workspace that they are provided with at the conclusion of the seminar.

​

Description: The decal consists of imagery often associated with military service and with Georgetown University: two white five pointed stars on a Georgetown blue and grey camouflage background with Jack the Bulldog and the words VET ALLY emblazoned in white stenciled font.

​

Uses:  Some examples of ways to use the decal include:​

​

- Post the decal in a visible spot such as on your office door or entryway*

​

- Include the decal in your syllabus with some language portraying your support of student-veterans

​

- Include the decal on your website alongside other online resources for veteran support aligned with your program, office, or class

*Participants are instructed that visibility of the decal is important, but that placement of a decal should purposefully indicate the Ally status of only the person who has been a seminar participant. Participants are instructed that decals should never be placed in a space that might indicate that other non-ally persons have become allies. This instruction is drawn from several studies that suggest that non-allies, especially non-supporters, of a particular group may be offended at being associated with the group, or that students within the group might be unintentionally misled into believing that an individual has not attended the seminar is an ally, which could lead to misunderstandings.
