Nick Drake, the director of military and veteran services at North Carolina State University, and Kevin Rumley, program director at the Buncombe County Veterans Treatment Court, share valuable perspectives on the challenges of transitioning from the military to higher education. Nick's journey from the army reserves to academia has equipped him with the knowledge and experience to guide military students through the academic landscape. He emphasizes the importance of providing support and services tailored to the unique needs of military students, from pre-service decision-making to career placement. Kevin, a Marine veteran who overcame injury in combat and addiction to pursue higher education, stresses the significance of mentorship and community for veterans navigating the cultural differences of academic life. Their insights underscore the need for universities to invest in resources and programs that support military students in their transition to higher education.
