This presentation presents aggregate data looking at the engagement of veteran students at colleges and universities. Using findings from the National Survey of Student Engagement, the researchers will (a) facilitate discussion among participants regarding best practices at their campuses (b) familiarize participants with NSSE data and its uses (c) encourage participants to utilize data at their institutions to enhance their advising practices related to veteran students. The researchers will present methods of analysis utilized for this research and how they can be adapted for use at the institutional level. These objectives will be met through an overview of issues and trends related to veteran students, small group discussion activities, presentation of NSSE data and findings, and highlighting connections between data with institutional resources.
