Edge4Vets STARS!

And so we are expanding the "STARS!" project. We want to recognize the many thousands of students in schools and universities who are making positive contributions. As such we have created a "STUDENT/VETERAN CATEGORY."

The goal is to give schools an opportunity to recognize student/veterans who are applying their military skills to perform well academically or providing outstanding service in their communities. Stories abound of student/veterans working at food banks, in senior centers, providing tutorial support for young people, or contributing in myriad ways to continue their service after their military service.

We ask coordinators in the Veterans Services office at schools and universities to share this page with partners throughout the school, including professors who have veterans in class, and with leaders of community groups where veterans are providing service while in school.

Study this link with EIGHT KEY SKILLS research says veterans possess.

1. Leadership
2. Teamwork
3. Strong Work Ethic
4. Core Values
5. Ability to handle stressful situations
6. Self-direction and motivation
7. Diversity and inclusion
8. Technology and globalization

Match the skills to the performance of a student/veteran you wish to nominate, telling specifically how he/she used one of more of the skills to perform at a high level in school or in the community, and give the outcome.

Share the story in 200 to 500 words on the link below.
