A Student Veteran's Experience with Higher Education: Social, Family, and Fraternal Support...and Peppi, too! - Paperback

by Peter J. Burke Edd (Author)

This is the second book in the Student Veteran's Experience with Higher Education series. This book focuses on the importance of support during your academic journey. Your support system is not just by blood, although family is important, it is also the relationships built from employment, church, academic and student organizations- many of which result in life-long friendships.

The author's research into availability of support for PTSD is personal and informative. He shares new stories and literature with the hope that other student-veterans will read his story and be encouraged about their decision to move forward in their academic life. He also hopes that educators discover what it is like to be a student-veteran and can facilitate success in their classroom.

There are unique challenges for student-veterans in the academic world, but through good times and bad, this story demonstrates that it is all worth it. Peppi helped a lot, too!
