Georgia is home to 774,000 veterans and roughly 100,000 military members (active, guard, and reserves). Attracting military/veteran students and serving the needs of this segment of the student population supports CCGA goals and can help meet the workforce demands of the state. Understanding initiatives, best practices, and specific issues, both in and out of the classroom, helps USG schools meet student needs while also impacting enrollment, persistance, and graduation. This session will present ongoing initiatives, both system and indivdual campus examples, best practices, and facilitate a better understanding specific issues, both in the classroom and beyond.
