Engagement Experiences of Student-Veterans
Presenters: Jim Cole, BCSSE Project Manager and NSSE Research Analyst
Colleges and universities are experiencing dramatic increases in the enrollment of veterans due to the return of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Though many veterans choose to attend community colleges or career and technical programs, large numbers enroll at baccalaureate-granting institutions. Yet little is known about their learning experiences or how they view the campus climate. In 2010, approximately 11,000 self-identified student-veterans responded to the NSSE survey regarding their engagement experiences. This Webinar will present the results of this survey and delve into the details of the student-veteran experience on our campuses. This Webinar will provide opportunities for participants to pose questions, provide feedback, or make observations as we discuss the results.

We will discuss how high school engagement is an important indicator of a student's preparedness to be meaningfully engaged on your campus and what important steps an institution can take to facilitate meaningful engagement. This Webinar will provide opportunities for participants to pose questions, provide feedback, or make observations as we discuss this topic.
