We are very pleased to offer the following course for the first time this fall. It is designed to ease the transition from military service to higher education and is taught by John Summerlot, a USMC and Army National Guard veteran on the IU staff. The class meets first 8 weeks only, is 2 credits, and can be found under EDUC-U 206 class number 32537. It will meet Tuesdays 5:30-8:30 pm in McNutt 003.
The enrollment is by permission only – contact vetserv@indiana.edu or jopsumme@indiana.edu if you want to enroll.
This course is based around the idea of creating a documented transition plan for the student to use as future reference and modify as needed. The plan is a well thought out examination of how the student is going to transition to the higher education environment from the military. Each week we will do some activities and have some discussions that focus on a particular aspect of the transition plan occasionally supplemented by lectures or presentations from a variety of sources including the students themselves.
This course is designed to be interactive and on most occasions will allow for customizing the content to fit the needs of the students as a whole and sometimes as individuals.
Please contact me if you need any further information.
