All in: Developing a Community College Veterans Resource Center with Student Veterans
Stevenson, Cari; Le Buhn, Michael
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v68 n1 p15-25 2020
Faculty, administration, and student veterans at a small midwestern community college collaborated to develop a Veterans Resource Center, a physical space in which veterans can congregate to build camaraderie and find resources specific to their needs as veterans. A needs analysis was first conducted to prioritize the needs of the student veteran community; then representatives from the college's Veterans Association emerged as leaders to lead the initiative. This article describes the process of development and shares lessons learned for the benefit of other institutions seeking to develop a Veterans Resource Center.
