Summary:

This book is intended for everyone in higher education - whether in the classroom, student affairs, administration, admissions, health services or faculty development - who is, or expects to be teaching, advising, or serving student veterans. The authors stress the importance of collaborative approaches across divisions and functions, providing all stakeholders in four- and two-year colleges with a comprehensive view of how they can support each other to ensure the success of their student veterans. This book is the outcome of the University of South Dakota's Fides program funded through a congressionally directed FIPSE grant. Materials from Fides have been featured by prominent educational organizations, and are being used by the National Center for PTSD, colleges, universities, and boards of regents across the United States.
