There are currently nearly 1.8 million living women military veterans in this country and over 103,000 have been deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Women in the military and most especially those deployed to an operation where they may be exposed to combat, creates unique issues and concerns on college campuses. The first half of this webinar is an in-depth exploration of those issues and concerns that seem to be gender specific for the women veterans returning to college campuses.

In the second half, Supportive Education for the Returning Veteran (SERV) will provide insight into what today`s women veterans need, and how to create and run an effective women veterans program. SERV will provide the background information from women veteran peer support personnel so that campuses will know what some women go through while they are in the military and the impact it has on their beliefs, fears, expectations and overall transition to the college campus. This data is critical to understanding the gender specific physical, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual (P.C.E.B.S.) reactions women veterans bring to your college campus.
