Synopsis

This book was previously sold under the title "The Strategic Student: Veteran's Edition" and features updated content

"A practical guide of immense value to both students and their supporters" -George Ballinger, Director of Family and Veteran's Affairs, University of Colorado, Boulder

“Perceptive and useful from a practical viewpoint. I have no doubt incoming freshmen will benefit from its insights.” Captain Anthony Chatham, U.S. Navy

“Provides current, relevant and very practical strategies and techniques to prepare oneself for one of life’s defining events. We recommend this book to all our incoming freshmen, and our academic advisors build upon its concepts.” -Colonel Stephen Dinauer, U.S. Marine Corps, Director President's Leadership Class

The college graduation rate for military veterans is unsatisfactory. While the life transition for veterans goes far beyond academics, by lessening the stress of the academic transition, the likelihood of collegiate success is significantly increased. The goal of The Strategic Student Veteran is to help raise graduation rates amongst our nation's veterans.

The reason so many college students underperform is because they're not taught how to transition from the structured military environment to the unstructured college academic environment. The Strategic Student teaches college-bound military veterans how to make this transition and become self-reliant, successful students.
