Abstract

The Vet2Vet program directly addresses unique needs and concerns of veteran students returning to academia. Peer tutoring engages student veterans academically, but does not address their psychosocial needs. Veteran student peer success coaching engages "the whole student" as a veteran, nursing student, and often head of household, spouse, and parent.
