Helping Veterans Persist at Your Institution
“… the need for campuses to continue to develop services that encompass and address more of the military-affiliated/veteran experience with regards to campus services (e.g., veterans-only courses, military related student organizations), and to facilitate persistence and degree completion, cannot be overly emphasized.”

Addressing Limiting Factors (LIMFACS) for Military-Affiliated Job Seekers in Higher Education
“LIMFACs, is a common military acronym meaning limiting factors. Let’s examine less discussed LIMFACs in the associated literature, especially reduced salary and pay cuts, which can play into veterans’ decisions about accepting certain jobs post-military service. This article emphasizes post-secondary institutions as part of the conversation, and it calls for bolstered efforts to employ more military veterans.”
