Student Veterans and Success
8:00 a.m. – 9:15 a.m. | North 124B
Admission and registrar offices play pivotal roles in the success
of student veterans through tasks ranging from identification and
selection to course alignment and crediting. But too often there are
misunderstandings and frustrations based on the “the military/civilian
divide.” Could we do a better job? Join a candid discussion on how
a greater understanding of military service, training, and values can
improve administrative operations and critical academic success for
the student veteran.
