摘要 越来越多的退伍军人和军校学生正在寻求在线和通过在全国各地的校园注册来完成学位。他们的数量增加带来了一些独特的挑战和机遇。 9 月 11 日后,《退伍军人权利法案》第 33 章的资助正在吸引更多机构将退伍军人和军人视为关键的招募人群。对这些学生的成功管理需要许多人认为具有变革性的机构反应。如果不了解这些学生的需求,很可能会给学生和高等教育机构带来不成功的经历。以下介绍了“军事友好”机构的概念,并概述了西卡罗来纳大学支持该概念的实践。
Abstract An increasing number of veterans and military students are seeking to complete degrees online and through enrollment at campuses across the nation. Their increased numbers present some unique challenges and opportunities. Post 9/11, Chapter 33 GI Bill funding is enticing more institutions to look at the veteran and military population as a critical recruitment population. Successful management of these students requires institutional responses that many consider transformational. Failure to understand the needs of these students is likely to result in an unsuccessful experience for both the student and the institution of higher education. The following introduces the concept of a “military friendly” institution and outlines practices engaged by Western Carolina University supporting the concept.
