| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper was to identify a problem in higher education that needed a new solution and draft a viable proposal for how to resolve it. I chose the problem of cultural barriers that veterans often face when attempting to return to many universities following military service. The method used was a combination of existing literature combined with personal narrative. The results were in the form of a suggested program for a dual cultural exchange between military and university personnel to improve program planning for military students and encourage military students to pursue a post-secondary degree. The recommendations are presented in a program planning format. |
