The SERV Program for Veterans: Doing Well by Doing Good
Attracting Returning Students Who Are Vets
Nearly 2 million veterans became eligible for the new GI Bill in 2009.
The bill gives returning veterans much greater freedom to attend the higher education institution of their choice.
What can you do to recruit the right candidates for your school?
We'll help you learn how to help both veterans and your institution make the most of this opportunity.
Led by John Shupp, Ph.D., of Cleveland State University, this 90-minute program examines how to promote success at every stage, from recruiting to on-campus programming.
Shupp shares his experiences as developer of Cleveland State’s successful SERV (Supportive Education for the Returning Veteran) program.
We explain:
- How the SERV program has worked on other campuses … and how to make it work on yours.
- What financial and other benefits you can anticipate for your college and community.
- How to run an effective recruiting campaign targeting veterans in your area.
- How to meet the unique needs of veterans as a learning community.
- How to create a supportive environment from day one.
- How to track the academic progress of veterans.
- How to promote a healthy graduation rate among veterans.
Learn how to increase your enrollment and revenue … and how to create a program that gives returning veterans the best chance for success.
