Overview

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 mostly 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.

For me, this is one of the more comprehensive works on military-connected students--a very topical and important cohort in higher education today. What's Next for Student Veterans? should be mandatory reading for those of us who work with this unique set of adult learners and for those who wish to contribute to research in the academy. --Paul H. Viau, Jr., Associate University Registrar and Director, Veterans Academic Resource Center, University of Central Florida

For me, this is one of the more comprehensive works on military-connected students--a very topical and important cohort in higher education today. What's Next for Student Veterans? should be mandatory reading for those of us who work with this unique set of adult learners and for those who wish to contribute to research in the academy. --Paul H. Viau, Jr., Associate University Registrar and Director, Veterans Academic Resource Center, University of Central Florida (1/1/2017 12:00:00 AM) The authors are also an assemblage of recognizable names in this area of scholarship, many of whom are veterans themselves or have other military connections. This identity of authors and contributors is critically important, as veterans are widely known to place trust especially (if not exclusively) in fellow veterans and service members. The authenticity of voices found here is therefore quite valuable. In the preface, DiRamio, himself a U.S. Navy Veteran, introduces this book as a resource intended 'for the whole of the higher education community', but especially for those tasked with serving military-affiliated members of any campus community. And indeed, while the broader community of postsecondary researchers and practitioners may find this volume compelling, it is an almost essential resource for anyone tasked with helping this target population. -- Teachers College Record (8/8/2018 12:00:00 AM)
