Recenzii

"Supporting Military-Connected Students in Higher Education offers a comprehensive, practitioner-focused exploration of how colleges and universities can better serve veterans, active-duty service members, and military families. Drawing on student voices, historical analysis, and critical frameworks, the book bridges theory and practice to illuminate the unique challenges and strengths of this growing population. From policy and identity development to campus support and future directions, the authors equip educators and leaders with the tools to create inclusive and equity-driven learning environments."
Marybeth GasmanSamuel DeWitt Proctor Endowed Chair in Education & Distinguished ProfessorRutgers University, USA
"What Monteigne and Paul have accomplished is powerful: they bring together a diverse range of voices from across the veteran landscape to demonstrate that meaningful change is only possible through collaboration. By weaving compelling case studies together with questions posed and thoughtful reflections, this book invites readers to engage deeply-not just as individuals, but as members of institutions and communities -- to serve military-connected students better. At the center of the book are stories of student veterans and their families-a reminder that accountability for integration doesn't rest with the individuals transitioning to campus life, but with the colleges and universities they attend. Whether you're new to working with the military-connected population or have worked in the field for decades, this book serves as a useful resource to learn, reflect, and take action, or to reinvigorate your dedicated practice."
Beth MorganDirector of Higher Education Transition and Partnerships, Columbia University, USA
