The research gap I am trying to close is how universities can better prepare veterans for the academic setting. There are already plenty of institutions that want to cater to veterans just to soak up the GI Bill funding, but with a graduation rate of less than 15% many veterans are not completing their degrees and they are losing the benefits they worked so hard to gain. I am not aware of what the standard student graduation rate is, but I have to believe that if colleges were only graduating 15% of their student body that that college would not be keeping its doors open for very long. Failing to ensure students are adequately prepared is just as much a failure on the institution as it is on the pupil. My hope is to find what resources have helped push foreign exchange students to succeed in academia and how those resources can be offered to the veterans as well. Every class of student deserves a fair and equitable education regardless of background or experience.
