Prior to the 2008 passage of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, only 22% of institutions offered transition assistance to veteran-students; four years later, that figure has dramatically increased to 37%. Due to the rapidly growing interest in transition assistance among student-veteran services practitioners, it is clear that more research is needed on these transitions. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach for this study, I interviewed six returning veteran-students at a large, research university in the Midwest. I then analyzed the subjects’ responses within the framework provided by Schlossberg’s Transition Theory. I found that the influences that most strongly impacted the participants’ transitions were assets and deficits that were financial, physical, emotional, psychological, and, most significantly, social in nature. 2013-08-22 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1365003929 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1365003929 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
