OVERVIEW:
Student Veterans are a growing demographic on many campuses and approaching these students from an informed perspective may make all the difference in their success. Student affairs professionals can lead the way to making our campuses more veteran friendly. This Webinar will help participants understand the basics of what military service is like, to how veterans interact both in and outside the classroom. We will also address how veterans undertake many simultaneous transitions, in addition to joining a campus community. Understanding the array of potential transitions can help student affairs professionals know which can be managed on campus and which require outside help.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
  • What students comprise your student veteran population
  • The many levels of student veteran transitions
  • What common experiences do veterans have from military training
  • What does it mean for student affairs professionals when a student veteran is a combat veteran?
  • Considerations for student veterans in the classroom
  • Considerations for student veterans outside the classroom
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Student Affairs professionals who work with Student Veterans in all facets of campus life including residence life, academic advisors, student activities, etc.
