School Development Interview<br />
In the other type of contact, the ―school development interview,‖ you will be gaining<br />
more information about a school in general. For this type of contact, it may make sense to<br />
start with the <strong>Veteran</strong>‘s representative at the school; almost all schools will have one,<br />
even if that person wears multiple hats and has other roles, as well.<br />
In this type of contact you may want to call ahead and arrange a 20 minute meeting to<br />
talk about the types of supports you provide to students in the program, and about the<br />
program itself (bring brochures). This is a great opportunity ask the <strong>Veteran</strong><br />
representative the following questions:<br />
What is your role as the <strong>Veteran</strong> representative?<br />
o Some <strong>Veteran</strong> representatives are strictly involved in financial aid and are<br />
not involved in any other aspect of the campus, while others assist student<br />
<strong>Veteran</strong>s in not only accessing their GI Bill and other benefits but also<br />
assist them with registering for classes, meeting with their advisors,<br />
connecting them with other needed services, etc.<br />
What types of <strong>Veteran</strong>-specific programs/activities/services does your school<br />
offer?<br />
What are the strengths of this school in terms of providing an educational<br />
environment for <strong>Veteran</strong>s?<br />
What are the areas to improve or current things you are working on to make this<br />
school more <strong>Veteran</strong>-friendly?<br />

o financial aid<br />
o programs of study<br />
o applying<br />
o registering<br />
o having problems with a professor or in a course<br />
What is most important for <strong>Veteran</strong>s to know when applying to this school?<br />
Who else would you recommend I talk to?<br />
After meeting with key player in the school, it may be helpful to type a brief summary of<br />
the conversations and enter them into a binder that can be shared with multiple students,<br />
