-Preparing Your Campus for Veterans Success will have a long-term positive impact on veterans in higher education by providing an easily replicable toolkit for campuses to support this generation of veterans as they take the transformational step of education between military and civilian careers.---Hunter I Riley, Director of Programs, Pat Tillman Foundation
It is imperative for the growing population of student Veterans that educational institutions across the nation and their staff understand the needs, physical and mental implications, and the desire of Veterans to further their education. This book succinctly provides that understanding and translates it into guidance for effectively assisting Veterans and their families. -- (01/01/2013) There is one truism all college faculty and administrators can agree upon--the demand for higher education is going to increase from veterans exiting the armed services for the foreseeable future. Another point of agreement should be that veterans are a far cry from graduating high school seniors. Hence, faculty and administrators at schools seeking to recruit veterans need to know their target audience, in order to not only successfully attract their enrollment, but to serve their special needs. This treatise is a 'must read' for administrators and faculty seeking to enrich their student body with veterans. What do veterans bring to your campus? What are they seeking in your collegiate experience? What are their expectations, needs, and sensitivities that must be met different from high school students? This insightful and revealing journey through the veterans' culture is a handbook every administrator and faculty should study. It is the cornerstone in the growing body of literature addressing serving the 'servants of all'. -- (01/01/2013) This book is a must read for all educators, counselors, higher education administrators, and community leaders. It is a playbook for solutions that will enable our veterans to achieve their capacity for greatness and empower them towards graduation. It teaches us the ways that education leaders can make a positive difference, on a daily basis, and describes the skill sets necessary to support our military veterans. This book educates the educators about us. -- (01/01/2013) It's more important than ever that returning veterans be given every opportunity to pursue an education.
