Student Veteran Informed Presentation

INTRODUCTION: How many people have a Veteran in their family or know one? If yes do you help them or is it someone else’s problem. Well many people think it’s someone else problem, but the truth is it’s our problem.

Does the government support or fail the veterans that have come back home? Veterans who are in uniform have a hard time transitioning to civilian life. Citizens believe that the government, like the Veteran Affair(VA), is helping veterans while others believe that the government has not made any improvements or adjustment to help the veterans in need and how the citizens of the world were right. The research will prove what the government is really doing for our veterans.

Freedom is not free. It is obtained for us by people we don’t know in countries far away. Veterans are the key to keeping our country safe. They were willing to give up their family, friends, security, and even their lives to fight for the rights of those they don’t know. By risking it all, veterans are able to be an inspiration to a whole country.

Honoring Veterans, West Delaware High School participated in an assembly on Nov.11 hosted in the Handson Auditorium.The event was arranged and prepared by teacher Jorden Pollock, with seniors Nicholas Juergens and Bergan Bloomers representing the student body.

The issue that has been addressed throughout this study is veteran’s rights. The issue of veteran’s rights is still being pursued and is near and dear to me. Not only am I a veteran, but I come from a long line of men and women who have proudly worn the uniform in defense of our nation. Between the mindset of the American public, to the cases presented before Congress, this is an ongoing dilemma. Caring for our brothers and sisters in arms is the socially responsible thing to do. However, many roadblocks must be torn down before this can come to fruition.

When deciding who to reach out to for a publicity campaign about veteran’s rights, several factors come into play. Should the focus be on the families of the veterans, the veterans themselves, or the public not associated with either that are unaware? For this campaign, the focus will be on the families of veterans as they are the most affected (aside from veterans themselves). They are right there on the veteran’s side, watching them go through the various issues, and feel just as helpless. This demographic will have the strongest feelings for advocating the rights of veterans across the board.

The intended purpose of this study was to describe and understand the identity development of student veterans as they transitioned from active duty service members to students at a higher educational institution. This study was “phenomenological” in nature and focused on seven individual, veteran, full time students completing their first undergraduate degree at CU Denver. Despite the increased number of student veterans on campus, there remains a continued lack of understanding regarding this section of the student population at colleges across the United States and as I learned, here at CU Denver as well. It is important that campus administrators have a solid understanding of student veterans’ needs and experiences in order to better assist them while they are here at CU Denver. In my study I concentrated on the actual experiences of seven student veterans attending college full time. This method was chosen because of its in-depth interview nature and the focus on participants’ lived experiences and worldviews. Veterans have detailed life experiences that are often not understood by non-veterans so in explaining some of my findings we civilians could have problems relating or understanding. Because of the time limitations involved in this project, interviewing a larger number of participants was not feasible, especially considering the attention to detail required for personal, one-on-one discussions. Furthermore, since the study focused on student veteran identity

When I began this research project, my goal was to merely understand the higher education experience of student veterans. Initially, I hoped to determine if student veterans intentionally isolated themselves or felt shunned by their classmates. However, while conducting interviews, it became apparent that there was a bigger issue occurring, one where student veterans were describing vigilant feelings while in the classroom. As a result, my research questions become more refined with each person I interviewed. I was able to see which interview questions were eliciting insightful responses and analyze the question to see if they needed to be rephrased or merely deleted. I planned on being open to making modifications and enhancements to my research

Veterans Benefits - The Veterans Center staff informs students with VA educational benefits, certifies GI Bill benefits, and answers questions about financial aid.

This article relates to my project because it emphasizes a need for further research. This reinforces in my question that resources are not currently as effective as they could be. The article brings about the important issue of the increasingly diverse demographics of student veterans that need to be addressed when creating policies and resources to aid and protect student veterans. This news article raise one important question for me as I research.

I decided to do the choreography track for this assignment. I chose to interview one of my favorite undergraduate professor. Dr. Dale Gunn is a professor of both history and psychology. The walls of his office are filled with multiple degrees. He is a US Veteran, and has had many interesting careers such as a diver for Jacques Cousteau, IBM computer programmer, FBI analyst, Police Psychologist, Criminal Psychologist, as well as a college professor. After emailing Dr. Gunn he agreed to answer my questions for this assignment. I called and ask “If your discipline (or your job), were a dance, what kind of dance would it be?”. His response was immediate and precise. As expected, Dr. Gunn began with a brief history of his family. He said, “my ancestors

For most, Veteran's Day is a day meant to honor those who serve and defend our country. Many restaurants offer special discounts and free meals for those who choose to dine with them on this day. Unfortunately, not all of these free meals go as plan. In fact, one Texas Chili's is receiving a lot of criticism after the manager took back a free meal from veteran Ernest Walker this past Friday.

Neither I nor anyone in my family has ever fought for this country. I want to do my best to remain respectful and receptive without being presumptuous or ignorant about the needs of the veteran population at Carolina. I would work with current campus organizations, like the Veterans Resource Team and the Student Veterans Assistance Coordinator, and give them a larger voice through CUAB.

Woke early at 0500 hours on Wednesday morning to get ready for my foot surgery scheduled at 0900 hours at the Veteran Hospital. I could not eat or drink anything after 2400 hours midnight and of course I was starving and seriously craving a cigarette, which I know I could not have. My husband Mert rushing me to put a little pep in my step, commenting that I usually run late even though I get up in plenty of time. I watched as Mert eat a breakfast of eggs, bacon, and pancakes. It was really hard for me due to the fact I cooked the breakfast. Washed the dishes and out the door we went.
