| Abstract: | Objective: Campus veteran offices aid student veterans in the processing of their education benefits. Many also provide other services and a sense of community for their student veterans. This research explored the role of campus veteran offices in mitigating the effects of community reintegration and food insecurity for student veterans. Participants: The sample included 10 veteran office staff at colleges in Florida. Methods: Campus veteran office staff completed semi-structured interviews which explored the themes of community reintegration and food insecurity. Results: Campus veteran office staff described their current programming and their plans for program expansion. In doing so, a series of best practices were identified as potential areas of improvement for campus veteran offices. Conclusions: Campus veteran offices provide a range of services and are uniquely situated to help student veterans address challenges related to community reintegration and food insecurity.
