Program Description:
Transitioning from military roles into academic settings and new career fields can create unique challenges for military connected students and transitioning servicemembers. JD will outline the origins and substance of a “pre-orientation” program designed to mitigate those challenges and train incoming student veterans to perform with high degrees of productivity, fulfillment, and resilience as they transition to William & Mary, while setting conditions where they can flourish in their personal lives and future careers. The presentation will include a description of initial student outcomes and outline how the Center for Military Transition (CMT) has adapted organizational behavioral, positive psychology, career counseling, contemplative practice, and adult learning theory to this specific population of student veterans.
