Statement of Purpose
The objective of the online student Veterans orientation is to help Veteran students
assimilate to the college environment, by providing a convenient online interactive tool to
reduce time and stress associated with traditional on campus orientations.

Anticipated Outcomes: •Increase student Veteran population by improving accessibility to key information during the enrollment process. •Increase student Veteran flexibility by eliminating traditional brick and mortar orientations.•Reduce payment delays from the VA caused by Veteran student misunderstanding and errors. •Evaluate and analyze online orientation assessments to determine what areas need more in-depth explanation. •Provide video materials or online access for student Veterans to revisit when needed.

Project Description:
Student Veteran offices (Veteran Resource Centers or Financial Aid/ Veteran Affairs) should combine traditional student orientation with

Final Thoughts!
There are no home runs only singles!
The Veteran population is an important population but, fragile at times.
Start small, take baby steps and have a big impact.
