Season 5 Thank You for Your Service: Serving the Contemporary Student Veteran

“Thank You For Your Service: Serving the Contemporary Student Veteran” is the first podcast designed to educate, encourage, and inspire civilian advocates to support student veterans in higher education. Veterans make up 2-3% of most college campuses, and often veterans rely on other veterans for support. As part of the majority, civilians are positioned to provide key support and advocacy for our returning service members, and this podcast aims to give civilians a start point to begin that journey.
