| Abstract: | The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore staff members' perceptions of student-veterans college experiences at a 2-year and a 4-year institution. This study was guided by Schlossberg's Theory of Adult Transitions. Purposive sampling was used to identify 640 participants for the study. Respondents indicated that their campus should add more support services for student- veterans. Staff members rank the following as major problems that the Department of Veterans should be responsible for when helping student-veterans with selected problems: military- related physical injuries, PTSD, and talking about their military experiences. A majority of the respondents reported that they would be willing to participate in a seminar about student-veterans and military culture. |
