Student journalists write on the student news site for Linfield College, “More than 5 million post-9/11 service members are expected to transition out of the military by 2020, according to the American Council on Education. While some of these veterans will enroll in an institution of higher education, even fewer will graduate from that institution.
“Many veterans who enroll in either community colleges or four-year institutions are not able to overcome the mental and emotional challenges to make it to graduation. While there are people and programs in place at Linfield to help veterans break down these barriers, they still face challenges that Linfield is not addressing.”
