What is 91ÁÔÆæ Green Zone?
91ÁÔÆæ Green Zone is training for staff and faculty on the cultural shifts that military-connected students may face as they transition from a military lifestyle to an academic lifestyle. Military-connected students fall into three categories: veterans, active duty, and dependents. The purpose of Green Zone training is to create a more supportive environment for this group of students during their transition at 91ÁÔÆæ.
Green Zone training will help provide staff and faculty with information about the following topics:
- Understanding cultural differences
- Recognizing strengths and challenges military-connected students face
- Truths and Stereotypes
- Appreciate the knowledge and experience these students bring to the classroom
- Provide resources to assist
- Understand data and demographics information about military-connected students on campus
Who are the Ambassadors?
The ambassadors are staff and faculty members who have volunteered to attend 91ÁÔÆæ Green Zone training in order to help support military-connected student from within their roles on campus. They are trained in relevant content which will help them ease transition for military-connected students and combat cultural discrepancies.
