Program helps veterans make transition to college
Monday, September 24, 2012
DUBOIS - Penn State DuBois, in conjunction with Service Access and Management Inc., will offer a new program on campus that is designed to help veterans adapt from military life to life as a college student.
From Military to College: A Transition to Campus Life is a free program, funded by Community Connections of Clearfield and Jefferson counties.
It is open to any veteran who is interested in attending college, or veterans who are already in college. It is also open to family members or friends of veterans who want to support their loved one's transition into higher education.
The program will help prepare those with a service background for life in the classroom. Additionally, it will offer assistance in transitioning from service life to life back home.
From Military to College also covers strategies for dealing with issues such as stress and trauma related to military service, and behavioral changes due to combat exposure. It will teach veterans tactics for reconnecting with family after their tour of duty, and how to deal with cultural issues at home.
Veterans interested in attending From Military to College: A Transition to Campus Life can choose from two program times to best accommodate their own schedule. It will be offered from 12:15-1:30 p.m. Oct. 1, 3 and 5, and again from 5-6:30 p.m. Oct. 15, 17 and 18. All classes will be held in room No. 209 of the DEF Building at Penn State DuBois.
To register or for more information, contact the Penn State DuBois Office of Adult Student and Veteran Services at 375-4772 or rjm32@psu.edu.
