A seminar at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point that helps veterans transition out of military life will be available at other campuses in the UW System starting in the fall.
The Back from the Front seminar is open only to first-year students who are veterans or currently enlisted. The course helps the students put the skills they learned in the military to use in the civilian world. Students also study the history of American veterans returning home from war, which helps them process their own experience, according to a news release. The UW system allocated $10,000 to UWSP to help develop the seminar for use at other campuses, which should start in the fall, the release states.
Shauna Holmes, president of the Veterans Club at UWSP, said the course is important for students to help them feel like they have a place at the university when they leave the military.
