Stories are powerful marketing tools

Elevate Vets(EV), created and supported by Veterans Education Success (VES), is a resource that provides higher education professionals with resources and insights to effectively support military-connected students, develop professionally, and be successful with this unique community of non-traditional learners.

Several working groups, made up of EV members, have been formed under the guidance of the EV Advisory Board.  One of those is focused on veteran graduation rates, how they are reported, and analyzed.

A moderated, roundtable style discussion has been organized for the purpose of spreading awareness on the topic, gathering feedback from higher education administrators, and furthering the dialogue to solve the issues and questions surrounding the topic.

Audience:  Registrars, Institutional Research Professionals, School Certifying Officials, and other higher education professionals interested in the topic.

Issues and Questions:

  • How are veteran graduation rates recorded and where?

  • Are institutions coding appropriately?

  • Concerns regarding reporting, tools, and metrics.

  • Communication between the VA and the National Student Clearinghouse.

  • Participant learning outcomes will be centered on the above issues and questions.

Doug Shapiro, Ph.D.

VP, Research and Executive Director, Research Center

Elevate Vets (EV), created and supported by Veterans Education Success (VES), is a resource that provides higher education professionals with resources and insights to effectively support military-connected students, develop professionally, and be successful with this unique community of non-traditional learners. 

As part of that effort, VES invites you to a webinar that will provide the latest policy updates on developments in Washington. Discover the pivotal legislative changes that are shaping the future of higher education and benefits for veterans and military personnel.

Topics We’ll Cover:

  • The Final Push Congress: A look at the 119th Congress’ Second Session, and how the year has kicked off with legislative attempts to cut social programs, including education. Hear what the core priorities are taking center stage, and what you can expect in the coming months.
  • What to Expect: Progress on the House Majority’s new reauthorization approach, how election-year pressures continue to narrow legislative pathways, and the ongoing push for GI Bill restoration. We will also look ahead to oversight and accountability issues at VA and in higher education.
  • Major Legislation: Learn about issues that have received focused attention from advocates and Hill staff alike, including a widely opposed bill to repeal the 90/10 Rule, and where other legislative proposals stand.

Stay informed about critical policy changes that directly impact veterans and higher education.
