Student Veterans Serve as they Achieve Higher Education

▤ Summary

One of the best ways to honor our service members is to celebrate their efforts and successes as student veterans, actively engaged in higher education. Some student veterans such as reservists and guard members are still connected to the military and may face interruptions in their enrollments due to unplanned unit activations. Career and job opportunities are a main reason that student veterans seek an education as well as self-improvement and personal growth. Employers today are looking for many of the “soft skills” that student veterans have learned such as teamwork, leadership and the ability to adapt to challenges. In 1999 Senator John McCain introduced the legislation that designated May as National Military Appreciation Month.
