  Veterans face a difficult transition from military service to academia. Some of this difficulty is related to the loss of military structure and unfamiliarity with the college environment. Faculty and staff who understand both of these unique cultures may be better able to assist veterans in successfully navigating this transition. This presentation allows participants to develop their own cultural competencies regarding student veterans through exploration of the transition from military to civilian life, the classroom experiences of some veterans, and some best practices for serving student veterans.

  On August 1, 2009, the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 was passed, and as a result, almost 2 million veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan will soon enroll in postsecondary education.   Up to 40 percent of these veterans are estimated to have disabilities.  This chapter examines some of the characteristics of this group, the challenges that veterans face as they transition tino life as college students, and how faculty developers can help faculty better serve these incoming veterans.
