Overview
There are many differences between military culture and civilian culture, and these differences can have a major effect on how veterans interact with your institution. It is imperative that academic support services be aware of how they can help veteran students make the best choices on their academic plans so they can effectively respond to and retain these students.
Join us online to learn how the strengths-based advising model can be applied to veteran students and what advisors can do to best help these students. There will be more of an emphasis on what advisors can do in their advising sessions rather than background on the needs of veterans.
Who Should Attend
Administrators in academic advising and coordinators of faculty advising will benefit from learning more about how to work best with veteran students.
