  Student Veteran Stressors in Higher Education: A Pilot Study

  Veterans often encounter difficult changes adjusting to civilian life after their military service. Student Veterans

  Veterans who enroll in higher education after their military service

  encounter not only the challenges of transitioning from military service to civilian life

  but the challenges of being a college student as well. While the media has reported on Student Veterans’ experiences and challenges

  these reports often focus on a few individuals and not the population as a whole. Therefore

  little research has been devoted to the unique stressors Student Veterans encounter. Current research suggests academic

  peer socialization

  and institutional stresses may add to the difficulty of Student Veterans’ adjustment to college and civilian life. These potential \nstressors may intensify already existing mental health diagnoses that were a direct result of the Student Veterans’ military service; like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  Depression

  and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). This pilot study is using a web survey to collect data on a sample of Student Veterans prior to the reauthorization of the GI Bill at post-secondary campuses to measure Student Veterans’ academic

  social

  and institutional stressors. Data is being analyzed at the time of this abstract submission. \n

  Student Veteran Stressors in Higher Education: A Pilot Study

  With the passage of the new GI Bill

  Student Veterans will enroll in college and universities in numbers not seen since post-World War II. However

  some Student Veterans will arrive on college\ncampuses with a unique set of difficulties and needs due to their military service. In addition to the physical wounds of combat

  Student Veterans may be coming to college campuses with invisible wounds—mental health disorders. The more common mental health disorders from current military operations are Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  Depression

  and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Colleges and universities alreadyhave established programs (e.g. Disabled Student Programs and Services

  Veteran’s Affairs Office) which may serve Student Veteran needs and aid in their transition from the military to higher education. However

  the frequency with which Student Veterans access these services

  and the benefits they receive from these services are not widely known. This pilot study is using a web survey to collect data on a sample of Student Veterans prior to the reauthorization of the GI Bill at post- secondary campuses to measure the prevalence of mental health disorders among Student Veterans prior to the reauthorization of the GI Bill

  their use of on-campus services

  and the benefits they receive from theses services. Data is being analyzed at the time of this abstract submission.
