Join the conversation at the the ACE Veteran Success Jam
The American Council on Education is gearing up to rock the Web on May 3-6 with Veteran Success Jam, an online “conversation” about the role that higher education can play in the successful reintegration of veterans.
ACE hopes to bring together thousands of participants — including service members, veterans and their families; representatives of colleges and universities, higher education associations; nonprofit organizations and the federal government — to discuss education issues affecting veterans, according to Jim Selbe, ACE’s assistant vice president for lifelong learning.
Topics for the Jam include:
* How the higher-education community addresses existing challenges in the areas of college access.
* Physical, mental and cultural barriers to veterans’ success in higher education.
* Model programs and services.
The purpose of the Jam, ACE says, is “to provide a forum where participants can discuss and identify challenges, develop and collaborate on innovative solutions and connect and engage as a higher education community.”
More information about the Jam will be posted at www.acenet.edu/STWS.
