Boots to Books: Advising and Teaching Veterans
Date: Friday, March 7
Time: 1:00–4:00 p.m.
Location: Plaster Student Union Ballroom East
Facilitator: Jenifer Kautzman
The Department of Veterans Affairs indicates that enrollment of veterans in college has increased 16-fold and well over 500,000 veterans have traded in their uniforms for text books. With the development of the Post 9/11 GI Bill, and the wars in Iraq/Afghanistan coming to an end, colleges across the state are seeing dramatic increases of veterans attending classes. At Missouri State University we’ve developed the Veteran Student Services office to meet the growing demands of this exceptional group of students. In this session, learn about unique needs of student-veterans, discuss ways we can engage, encourage and empower our student-veterans and hear from current student-veterans about their personal transition and experiences.
After the workshop, participants will have an opportunity to tour the Veteran Student Services office and student lounge.
Space is limited and registration is required through the academic advisement website. Please contact Kathy Davis at ext. 65258 with questions.
