Creating a Veteran Friendly Campus: Strategies of Transition and Excellence. New Directions 125 by Robert Ackerman. As the U.S. continues its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, more and more students who have been exposed to combat situations will be taking classes in universities and colleges. There has been an increasing realization that these veterans require unique supports beyond their financial aid applications processed by the Veterans Affairs office. Combat exposure can leave lasting physical and emotional problems which will need to be addressed. However, veterans possess numerous other unique characteristics, particularly the extraordinary bonds established during warfare which can serve as a foundation for supportive relationships on campus. Women veterans bring a different and often nontraditional view to the campus, while returning students who enlisted previously may need adaptation to make them successful learners. Traditionally, colleges have sought to respond to the educational needs of diverse student populations through programs and services development. This book describes how to implement program initiatives that support veteran students at campuses, encouraging their active participation and success in courses. The book's contributors have broad and thoughtful knowledge of this topic, as they bring decades of experience to bear. This work represents the 138th edition of the New Directions in Student Services Higher Education Report series published by Jossey Bass, an invaluable asset for student affairs administrators, student counseling personnel, and others in student affairs. Each edition of New Direction offers practical guidance and specific approaches for helping students grow and develop academically, emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively.

Описание книги от Ackerman Robert
As the United States? wars in Afghanistan and Iraq continue, increasing numbers of students who experienced combat will enroll in colleges and universities. There is mounting evidence that these veterans will require support unique to their needs beyond the processing of financial aid paperwork from the Veterans Administration. Obviously, combat frequently inflicts injuries, both physical and mental, that will require attention, but veterans are a unique population in other ways as well. Soldiers experience extraordinary bonding in wartime, and colleges can provide opportunities for that fellowship to be a source of support and connection. Female veterans will bring a new, nontraditional perspective to campus, and student service organizations should pay careful attention. There is also a significant group of students who leave for service and return?under the best of circumstances, they need accommodation to succeed. Institutions of higher education traditionally have responded to the needs of special student populations by developing programs and offering services. This volume contains information about programmatic initiatives that can help create a welcoming environment for veterans, one that encourages serious, creative involvement. The authors bring broad experience and deliberate consideration to bear on questions that are only becoming more important to the entire spectrum of American colleges and universities. This is the 126th volume of the Jossey-Bass higher education quarterly report series New Directions for Student Services, an indispensable resource for vice presidents of student affairs, deans of students, student counselors, and other student services professionals. Each issue of New Directions for Student Services offers guidelines and programs for aiding students in their total development: emotional, social, physical, and intellectual.
