Called to Serve
Over the past several years, veteran enrollment in universities,
community colleges, and vocational programs has increased
dramatically. Called to Serve offers academics and
administrators a handbook highlighting the most current research,
program initiatives, and recommendations for creating policies and
services that can help student veterans and service members
succeed, including:
* Strategies for organizing and staffing services for veterans
and service members
* Suggestions for creating institutional infrastructures and
policies related to enrollment, transfer, and degree
completion
* Frameworks for working with service members with physical,
emotional, and learning disabilities
Praise for Called to Serve
‘An excellent resource tool for key university leadership who
desire to support the success of incoming and current student
veterans.’
–Renee T. Finnegan, colonel (retired), executive
director, Military Initiatives and Partnerships, Office of the
President, University of Louisville
‘One of the more compelling issues of our time is the
integration of returning veterans and service members into our
society following their service to our country. This handbook will
be a critical tool in guiding higher education professionals in
developing strategies to ensure their success in college.’
–Kevin Kruger, president, NASPA-Student Affairs
Administrators in Higher Education
‘This timely book explains and presents a new meaning of ‘called
to service.’ The issues and vignettes bring to life real situations
that will be facing all campuses. I highly recommend this valuable
resource to those looking forward and not back.’
–Gregory Roberts, executive director,
ACPA-College Student Educators International
‘I have waited over forty years for such a comprehensive
handbook to be written about the challenges, opportunities, and
rewards that are associated with providing higher education to
America’s veterans–our future leaders. Well done.’
–Robert E. Wallace, Vietnam veteran and executive
director, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S., Washington
