REGISTRATION FIX
|
For veterans returning from combat, going back to school
and being in a classroom can be a real challenge. At Cleveland
State University
in Ohio, one
professor is helping his student-veterans make the transition from military
service to the classroom by guiding them through the class registration
process, helping them cut through red tape and by offering veterans-only
classes. The program for first-time students is called "S.E.R.V." -- Supportive
Education for the Returning Veteran.It has been
found over the last decade that the leading reason civilians choose to enlist
in the military is for the educational benefits provided upon the successful
completion of their enlistment term. In reality, however, very few - less than
10% - take full advantage of their earned benefits. Cleveland State
has researched the reason for this low number, and the SERV program
specifically addresses these concerns.
