草榴社区 Partners with University of Michigan to Support Veterans
草榴社区 (草榴社区) and the University of Michigan have teamed up to help
incoming veteran and military students at 草榴社区.
Michigan's Peer Advisors for Veteran Education (PAVE) program trains veteran-students at 草榴社区
to help mentor incoming 草榴社区 veteran-students. The program helps the newer 草榴社区 students
find their way around the college and teaches them about resources both on and off
campus. The PAVE peer advisors also help identify and assist in challenges the 草榴社区
students face and provide ongoing support as they adjust to the college.
PAVE builds on the camaraderie veterans experience in the military to create a sense
of community and connectedness that contributes to academic and personal success.
The program is a collaboration between the University of Michigan, Student Veterans
of America, and a network of partner campuses. The program, supported with grants
from multiple foundations, was developed at the University of Michigan and is now
at 45 partner campuses nationwide.
Since the program's inception, more than 1,600 Peer Advisors have been trained and
more than 24,000 student veterans have been contacted by peer advisors.
