Coming Home: Student Veterans' Articulation of College Re-Enrollment
Livingston, Wade G.; Havice, Pamela A.; Cawthon, Tony W.; Fleming, David S.
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v48 n3 p315-331 2011
This study described student veterans' navigation of college re-enrollment. Fifteen participants interviewed at one institution were less likely to seek academic support and more inclined to pursue social support in the form of associating with fellow veterans with whom they felt more comfortable. They downplayed or hid their veteran status from campus community members. Recommendations for acknowledging and supporting student veterans are discussed. (Contains 1 figure.)
