Q & A with OVMS – Military-Affiliated Students in your classroom. Jason Gilliland, Director OVMS and students, Wed. Nov. 8, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. Student Union 100 South

Did you know that the population of military-affiliated students at SUNY New Paltz is over 300?

Come learn about the unique needs of our military-affiliated students. During this session we will have a very thoughtful dialogue about what New Paltz, as a whole, is doing to support our military-affiliated students and to address the challenges that these students may face as they move between military and civilian life. Each semester we always seem to get a variation of the same question:   “As faculty, what could be done at our level to help with this support?”

Date:  Wed. November 8, 2023

Time: 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Location: VMS office, SUB 100 South

Example question for discussion:

  • How can we improve the academic experience of our “Military-Affiliated Students (MAS)”?
  • As faculty, what could be done at “our” level to help with this support? (This question came directly from a faculty member).
  • What are some of the challenges identified by MAS in the classroom? (Not New Paltz Specific)
  • What are some of the challenges faculty face in the classroom with MAS?
