#TodayinHistory President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the G.I. Bill, which provided WWII veterans with funds for their college educations. The bill was originally signed in 1944. Since then, updates have been made, but the intent of all iterations of the GI Bill remains the same: to provide those who have served the opportunity and funding to further their education. https://lnkd.in/e8XsWecR

Non-Traditional: A US Army Veteran's Journey to Becoming a Community College Professor Like every week on Let's Talk Ed, we delve into the much-needed transformation of colleges to better support non-traditional students. We, Zahi Atallah and Chris Forde, along with special guest @Eric Painter, a US Army veteran turned community college professor, explore innovative strategies for enhancing the college experience, retention and success. In Segment 1: "Non-Traditional: A US Army Veteran's Journey to Becoming a Community College Professor”, we talk about the quintessential importance of class scheduling in allowing non-traditional student to attend and succeed in college. A schedule could be the reason why potential students don’t go to college, or drop out of college, or simply don’t succeed. A schedule is not just what is convenient for us as staff and faculty. It is a path to success in itself. Eric Painter shares his perspective as a veteran journeying from military service to academia, highlighting the unique challenges and triumphs faced by non-traditional students pursuing higher education. Segment 2: "Building the Esprit de Corps: Clubs, Activities, Cohorts, Learning Communities” tackles the importance of fostering a sense of belonging and community through clubs, activities, cohorts, and learning communities, creating a supportive environment for students of all backgrounds. Neglecting these essential success builders is a common college administration decision that hurts students, and ultimately the college. And, finally, in Segment 3: "A Hero's Perspective: If US Army Veteran Had the Magic Wand to Change College”, we arm Eric Painter with omnipotent powers and seek his perspective on transforming community colleges to better meet the needs of non-traditional students, offering valuable recommendations for positive change. Help us to empower learners by creating inclusive and student-centered community college environments! Join the Education Revolution!!!!!! Like, Share, and Subscribe!!!! And make Let’s Talk Ed the beacon of change for education in general, and college in particular #GrowthMindset #CommunityCollege #FlexibleSchedules #NonTraditionalStudents #HigherEducation #StudentSupport #StudentSuccess #VeteransInEducation #LetsTalkEd #InclusiveEducation #StudentEngagement #LearningCommunities #StudentLife #CollegeExperience #SupportiveEnvironment #EducationTransformation #MilitaryToCollege #StudentBelonging #StudentWellbeing #EducationalLeadership #StudentCommunity #AcademicSuccess

Attention #army service members, this is important information that Joshua Atkinson has been talking about for month now. The Army is seeking to make cuts to your Credentialing Assistance (CA) program. From the article: 📣 📣 “What we are looking at is rather than having soldiers be able to pursue an unlimited number of credentials every year in perpetuity, we may look at saying that soldiers could do one certification a year. Maybe have sort of a cap on the number of certifications they can get over the duration of their time in the Army — really just to try to manage the costs of the program a little bit better. But that’s sort of how we’re thinking right now. And those kinds of guardrails are very similar to what our sister services have done in the Air Force and the Navy,” said Wormuth. Anybody else have additional information you can share? #militarytransition #transitioningmilitary #certifications #training #preveteran

Many spouses of U.S. military members face challenges, especially when it comes to their careers. Thankfully, the U.S. government provides the spouses of service members a range of benefits and resources. If you’re a military spouse who has been considering a career change or pursuing additional education or training, programs exist to help you achieve those goals. Because many of these programs are paid for by the federal government, the funding level, application structure, and qualifications may change over time. As a result, it’s in your best interest to learn about as many of them as possible; you may need to access multiple funding sources to help pay for school. In this article, we’ve outlined some of the most common education benefits available for military spouses.
