Teaching post 9/11 student-veterans with symptoms of PTSD: The influence of faculty perceptions and self-efficacy

Student Veteran Transitions from Combat to College

“…Student veterans may bring with them complex needs that are atypical of those normally encountered by faculty, staff, and administrators of colleges and universities (Barnard-Brak, Bagby, Jones, & Sulak, 2011;Rumann & Hamrick, 2010). These needs include addressing physical and psychological challenges resulting from their experiences during military deployment (Madaus, Miller, & Vance, 2009;Ruh, Spicer, & Vaughan, 2009;Church, 2009;Shackelford, 2009;.…”

Student veterans have reported feeling uncomfortable when singled out by faculty as representatives of the military (DiRamio et al, 2008), and when their professors' teaching of military history conflicts with their first-hand experience (Gonzalez, 2012).…”

An Exploration of Transition Experiences Shaping Student Veteran Life Flow

“…Recent research describes the process through which military veterans transition and reintegrate within their local community following an honorable discharge (Barnard-Brak, Bagby, Jones, & Sulak, 2011). Further studies have discussed the potential challenges veterans face when transitioning from the military (Bellotti, Laffayea, & Weingardt, 2000).…”
