About
The goal of these programs are to help the veterans understand the natural and necessary changes required to successfully reintegrate and find success as civilians. They will learn to readapt their internal specifications to meet their transition goals.
The programs are designed to help facilitate a successful transition by following a three-tiered model: Translation, Transition, and Transformation. These mirror three broad steps of a university program: the admissions process, succeeding in academics, and working to develop a career.
Translation: The Admission Process
The "red phase" of the program. Here, the focus is on getting the veterans & service members settled into Missouri S&T. The team finalizes any paperwork, handles benefits, and ensures that they have the basics needed to move forward into college.
Transition: Succeeding in Academics
The "white phase" of the program is where the Student Veterans Resource Center spends the majority of its time and energy. The focus is on academic support, helping students make the most of their time here, encouraging involvement, and helping them find any tools and resources they may need.
Transformation: Working to Develop a Career
The "blue phase" programs are future-oriented and typically revolve around career preparation, developing a professional network, obtaining relevant certifications, and meeting veteran supportive companies.
