Supporting Veterans in Higher Education cover

The shift from active-duty military personnel back to civilian life can be severely challenging. Editors Jose E. Coll and Eugenia L. Weiss have assembled a group of dedicated experts to discuss the various concerns associated with student veterans pursuing higher education. Supporting Veterans in Higher Education is an essential text that draws attention to the unique needs of student veterans and how they can be enabled to achieve a successful transition from military to civilian life. This book explores effective ways of advising student veterans, learning the behavioral health factors that affect academic success, building supportive communities, and much more. The contributing authors understand the intersection between military culture and academic settings and devote themselves to empowering student veterans as they continue their mission to serve beyond the military.

An absolutely superb, path-breaking work on today's student veterans, with comprehensive analysis of approaches designed to enable success in transition from life in uniform to life in a university with a particularly valuable examination of how veterans can be prepared to contribute in a variety of human service programs. * David H. Petraeus, General, U.S. Army (Ret.) *
