Abstract: Student veterans' (SV) transition into academic life is challenging, and faculty/staff are uniquely positioned to support this change. Research calls for academic faculty/staff training to support SVs and aid in their retention and academic success. Framed by Rhetorical and Relational Goal Theory (RRGT; Mottet et al., 2006), qualitative data identified SVs' instructional communication needs and produced a faculty/staff training program. Twenty-three SVs were interviewed about their instructional communication needs, namely, a need for Structure, Integration, and Awareness. These needs were translated into instructor communication behaviors, and a student veteran instructional communication training (SVIC) was created to (a) promote organization, (b) facilitate assimilation, and (c) demonstrate conscientiousness to meet the rhetorical and relational needs of SVs.
