Özet:
Enrolling into college or university before, during, and after military service can be a challenging experience for student veterans because the daily roles and responsibilities of former military members differ greatly from that of traditional college-aged students. This dissertation explored the academic and social challenges, and provided a portrayal of the experiences, of student veterans who previously had been unsuccessful in their transitions from military service to higher education. My study is a resource that higher education leaders and stakeholders can use to increase their understanding of the unique needs of student veterans when transitioning from military service to higher education.
I used a case study methodology to analyze data collected through interviews, observations, and blog data. Schlossberg's adult development theory was used to frame my study. As student veterans transition into higher education, they "move-in," "move-through," or "move-out" of different transitional stages. The results of my study reflected the following: (a) that student veterans were resilient, and (b) that military influences affect resiliency and aid student veterans with their academic and social challenges. Participants described pursuing higher education as a scary experience. Furthermore, participants compared pursuing a college degree to a "military mission." The final chapter provides a summation of the experiences of student veterans who previously had been unsuccessful in their transitions from military service to higher education. Finally, recommendations for further study related to this student population in higher education were provided to highlight gaps in the literature and bring awareness to areas for further research.
