Supporting Military-Affiliated Students

Studies by the American Council on Education have shown that keys factors to best foster student veterans' academic success is by having faculty and staff who are aware of their unique experiences and identities coupled with resources for their overall success. Our format is based on the successful “Green Zone” model devised at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). Sessions will be delivered by full-time MVS staff or trained GW student veterans and can be customized to fit the goals of you and your colleagues to better educate and support military-affiliated students.
