Best practices support for student veterans.

Creating robust, effective cultures of support takes more than simply abiding by legally mandated nondiscrimination policies. It requires listening, intentionality, and a willingness to reevaluate not just how we serve veterans on our campuses, but also how we think about them as members of our campus communities.
