AIKEN, S.C. (November 20, 2025) — Savannah River Mission Completion (SRMC), the liquid waste contractor at Savannah River Site (SRS), proudly donated $5,000 to University of South Carolina Aiken (USCA) to aid veterans as they transition from military service to college and navigate the civilian workforce.
This generous contribution is aimed at creating a potential employment pipeline through the university’s Office of Veteran and Military Student Success (VMSS).
The funds will be utilized to organize networking and career-guidance sessions in collaboration with VMSS, along with advertising efforts to promote the mission of the VMSS center.
SRMC Talent Acquisition Projects and Programs Lead Allison Brinkley said this partnership can open doors for the college’s veterans.
“I look forward to many of them applying for our summer internship program,” Brinkley said. “Our internships give students an opportunity to see what SRMC does and how they might fit in.”
Executive Director of Military Affairs and External Programs for USCA Robert Murphy, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, emphasized the university’s commitment to supporting veteran and military students.
