Bridging Veterans and Academia: Enhancing Classroom Environments By Leveraging Student and Faculty Military Service

Student and faculty military veterans bring a wealth of experience, skills, and perspective to academia. However, this wealth often goes untapped. Most literature about veterans is deficit based, giving the impression veterans need to be helped or managed rather than leveraged as resources (Sullivan & Yoon, 2020). This roundtable seeks to highlight the positives veterans bring to academia, be that to the classroom or administration. Together, we will uncover best practices from fellow MOBTS members for engaging veterans, increase our awareness through the experiences of MOBTS veterans, and create a higher standard of care for veterans and non-veterans, alike.
