Book Synopsis Providing a Safe Environment for Student Veterans to Promote Academic Success and Personal Wellness by : Jaazar Shalabi
Download or read book Providing a Safe Environment for Student Veterans to Promote Academic Success and Personal Wellness written by Jaazar Shalabi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since the introduction of the post 9/11 GI Bill in 2008, there has been a significant increase (42%) of veterans enrolling in colleges, universities, and vocational schools (National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics, 2014). Over one million veterans utilize benefits from the GI Bill including paid in-state tuition and monthly stipends for books, supplies, and housing. However, veterans still face many challenges ranging from lack of understanding other students and faculty, finding camaraderie, and obtaining counseling services (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2014). Higher education administration should consider these challenges and provide resources to help student veterans succeed in reaching their educational goals. Defining the beneficial factors that influence student veteran success helps clarify what measures need to be taken to meet the needs of student veterans. This project will identify therapeutic resources that will highlight tools designed to help military members overcome obstacles on and off campus and help increase the chances of their academic success."--Abstract, p. 1.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the passage of the Post-9/11 GI Bill in 2008, more than 1.4 million service members and their families became eligible for higher education benefits, and veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan enrolled in colleges and universities in record numbers. The first wave of research about these new student veterans focused primarily on describing their characteristics and the transition from military service to civilian life and the college campus. This new edited collection presents findings from the second wave of research about student veterans, with a focus on data-driven evidence of academic success factors, including persistence, retention, degree completion, and employment after college. An invaluable resource for educators poised to enter the next phase of supporting military-connected college students.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to identify non-cognitive attributes learned from enlisted military service that can guide student-veterans to success in higher education. Community colleges are showing poor completion rates for all the efforts toward student success and completion. Non-traditional students persist to completion and student success using a predominant set of non-cognitive attributes to overcome academic and cultural deficiencies typical of their demographic. As a niche subset of the non-traditional population, student-veterans are equipped with various non-cognitive attributes gained during their enlisted military service which they use to face unique challenges related to transitioning out of the military culture and into the culture of higher education. This study sought to capture and ascertain the lived experiences of successfully completed student-veterans that managed to effectively transition out of the military culture and into the culture of higher education utilizing a primarily grounded theory approach. The researcher performed a qualitative study to identify and understand the types of non-cognitive attributes student-veterans obtained during enlisted military service which were later used to earn academic success and program completion in a community college, or postsecondary education. Eighteen successfully completed student-veterans were gathered through snowball-sampling, which represented a diverse, intersected crosscutting of demographics. The researcher conducted interviews implementing a semi-structured, open-ended interview protocol. This flexible interview decorum supported the process of data gathering as veterans shared their personal experiences transitioning from the military culture into the culture of higher education, earning a completion credential and academic success. The guiding research questions of this study included: 1) What attributes learned through enlisted military experience translate to student success in higher education?; 2) What attributes learned through enlisted military experience correlate with the non-cognitive skills exhibited by non-traditional students that lead to success in higher education?; 3) How can student-veterans effectively apply their enlisted military experience as it relates to their student experience in higher education? This study identified eleven themes which surfaced from interviews with research participants: Commitment/Discipline, Communication/Self-Advocacy, Leadership/Team-building/Military Core values, Goal-setting and Planning, Adaptability, Responsibility/Accountability, Self-awareness, Confidence in self/ability, Time Management, Perspective of risk/consequence, and Caution. The three predominant non-cognitive attributes characteristic of the larger non-traditional student population were present among student-veterans, although only two were identified as among the predominant attributes in this study. The following themes emerged from interviews as opportunities student-veterans can best apply their non-cognitive attributes: Identify scenarios which military attributes are appropriate and applicable, Network/Seek guidance, Establish personal habits/routines, Plan/prepare for transition before separation, Adapt rather than impose, Exercise cultural awareness/understanding, and Identify parallel structures that exist in both military and higher education worlds. The emergent themes led to recommendations for community college and higher education leaders to develop cultural competencies on campus which validate the experiences and identities of student-veterans, build cultural acclimation bridges that allow student-veterans to wholly transfer their identity and attributes to their postsecondary experience, and manufacture an integration process that elevates student-veteran completion rates that may also positively impact other non-traditional student demographics for greater overall completion rates and student success.
Book Synopsis Best Forms of Involvement for First-year Student Veterans for Academic Success by : Saipraseuth Chaleunphonh
Download or read book Best Forms of Involvement for First-year Student Veterans for Academic Success written by Saipraseuth Chaleunphonh and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study expands the research for the transition of student veterans utilizing the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill enacted in 2008. It presents a quantitative approach to study the relationship between first-time, full-time student veterans and their non-veteran student counterparts in the area of transition to college life and academic success in the first-year of college. Transition to college life is measured through variables that represent pre-entry attributes, skills gained or lost, and student involvement. The results of the study contribute to the efforts of campus professionals to coordinate services and direct resources in order to better serve and increase the academic success of this population. Using secondary data, the study examines financial stress, prior learning experience, psychological/physical health, skills gained or lost, and student involvement in relationship to academic success. Additionally, the study compares first-year student veterans with comparison groups: traditional first-year students, first-generation first-year students, and non-traditional first-year students. Finally, the study identifies what forms of student involvement work best for student veteran academic success and what pre-entry attribute or skill most influences academic success. The study also explores differences between student veterans from public/private institution types and commuter/residential status.
Book Synopsis Assessing Student Success Efforts for Military Students in a California Community College by : Bob Kratochvil
Download or read book Assessing Student Success Efforts for Military Students in a California Community College written by Bob Kratochvil and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two million U.S. military veterans live in California, a number that is expected to increase as military personnel in the Afghanistan (OEF) and Iraq (OIF) conflicts complete their service. Statewide statistics indicate that scores of returning veterans will be attending California community colleges. Many colleges have attempted to address the influx of returning veterans by developing appropriate support services for them. The college participating in this research established such services and is considered a model program. This exploratory mixed methods study evaluated those services and programs and assessed their effect on student success. This study was guided by Kuh, Kinzie, Schuh, and Whitt's theoretical framework on student engagement and two research questions: (a) How do OEF/OIF student veterans at the participating college define "student success" and (b) To what extent and how do the OEF/OIF student veterans at the college attribute their success to the specialized veterans' programs and services provided by the college? The study consisted of a review of the college's veterans program, interviews of OEF/OIF military veterans at the school, and a survey of over 300 student veterans. The objective was to gain the veterans' perspectives of and satisfaction with the services provided. The findings indicated that the veterans' definition of success was based on grades, transfer opportunities, goal completion, and job obtainment. Additionally, most participants viewed the programs and services as contributing to their success. The findings will help college administrators to gain a more comprehensive understanding of student veterans' classroom needs and to model these programs and services as they attempt to meet student veterans' educational goals.
Download or read book The GI Bill written by Glenn Altschuler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On rare occasions in American history, Congress enacts a measure so astute, so far-reaching, so revolutionary, it enters the language as a metaphor. The Marshall Plan comes to mind, as does the Civil Rights Act. But perhaps none resonates in the American imagination like the G.I. Bill. In a brilliant addition to Oxford's acclaimed Pivotal Moments in American History series, historians Glenn C. Altschuler and Stuart M. Blumin offer a compelling and often surprising account of the G.I. Bill and its sweeping and decisive impact on American life. Formally known as the Serviceman's Readjustment Act of 1944, it was far from an obvious, straightforward piece of legislation, but resulted from tense political maneuvering and complex negotiations. As Altschuler and Blumin show, an unlikely coalition emerged to shape and pass the bill, bringing together both New Deal Democrats and conservatives who had vehemently opposed Roosevelt's social-welfare agenda. For the first time in American history returning soldiers were not only supported, but enabled to pursue success--a revolution in America's policy towards its veterans. Once enacted, the G.I. Bill had far-reaching consequences. By providing job training, unemployment compensation, housing loans, and tuition assistance, it allowed millions of Americans to fulfill long-held dreams of social mobility, reshaping the national landscape. The huge influx of veterans and federal money transformed the modern university and the surge in single home ownership vastly expanded America's suburbs. Perhaps most important, as Peter Drucker noted, the G.I. Bill "signaled the shift to the knowledge society." The authors highlight unusual or unexpected features of the law--its color blindness, the frankly sexist thinking behind it, and its consequent influence on race and gender relations. Not least important, Altschuler and Blumin illuminate its role in individual lives whose stories they weave into this thoughtful account. Written with insight and narrative verve by two leading historians, The G.I. Bill makes a major contribution to the scholarship of postwar America.
Book Synopsis Factors Leading to Student Veteran Achievement in Community College by :
Download or read book Factors Leading to Student Veteran Achievement in Community College written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student veteran achievement in community college has received increased attention this past decade with the surge in enrollment by returning military personnel and retired veterans. Similar to previous eras, today’s student veterans seek post-war educational opportunities at postsecondary institutions. Yet unlike previous student veteran enrollment surges, colleges and universities currently lack adequate understanding of student veterans and how to effectively enable their success. This study adapted De La Garza’s (2015) Conceptual Model of Student Veteran Achievement into three separate path models with latent constructs. The intrinsic interest, college GPA, and credits earned models were each geared for predicting student veteran success and were analyzed using factor analysis and a series of multiple regression analyses. Additionally, two new factor constructs related to student veteran sense of belonging were added to each of the models in support of previous research citing the benefits of sense of belonging on postsecondary achievement. The Community College Survey of Men (CCSM) provided a student veteran dataset of 481 respondents and the study also employed a subset of 250 student veterans of color respondents from the same dataset for analysis across the three models. The findings indicated that using the intrinsic interest and college GPA models in tandem, provided a comprehensive analysis versus employing a cognitive or noncognitive model alone. The dual-model approach significantly predicted student veteran and student veterans of color achievement while the credits earned model provided weak predictions. Sense of belonging was critical in predicting student veteran achievement and further reversed or dampened negative effects influencing the ultimate endogenous variable in each of the three models. Compared to the student veteran achievement models, the student veterans of color models were significantly affected by stressful events and also less impacted by noncognitive variables than the traditional cognitive measures of postsecondary success. Future research using the intrinsic interest and college GPA models will help define programs and policies for other student veteran subgroups including student veteran women, student veterans with disabilities or impairments, and specific student veteran military branches or duty statuses. Current programs and policies should leverage and encourage sense of belonging and strive to increase veteran representation among postsecondary faculty and administrators. Dedicated support of Student Veterans Associations and likeminded organizations are considered vehicles for increasing and enhancing student veteran sense of belonging.

This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
