What needs do student-veterans bring to campus?
Little is known about this emerging student population. The
researchers interviewed 25 students who served in the current Iraq
and Afghan conflicts. This was a multi-campus study, with the
sample derived from three geographically diverse universities
representing northern, southern, and western regions of the United
States. Using a model of adult transition by Schlossberg as a
guiding theory, a grounded theory epistemology was used to generate
a conceptual framework for understanding students who are making
the transition from wartime service to college. Findings and
implications will help institutions organize a holistic approach
for assisting veterans and improving their chances for success. (click here
