How Do Schools Ensure Veterans Succeed?

Description

During the 2018-2019 academic year, Swords to Plowshares conducted qualitative and quantitative research with 78 veterans and 15 campus staff from five California colleges to assess formal and informal supportive practices on campuses, and to better understand the direct challenges and needs of student veterans. The information in this report builds off of our previous study, “The Path Forward: What Universities Need to Know to Help Student Veterans Succeed” and provides research-based recommendations to colleges to improve services and education outcomes of student veterans.
