CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Casper College says it will start a program to help ease military veterans into higher education this fall.
In a statement Friday, the college says it is among 30 schools in the nation and the only one in Wyoming to be selected as a new Peer Advisors for Veteran Education partner campus.
Lisa Goss will identify current student veterans who can mentor three to five new student veterans on campus as part of a program she hopes will improve veterans' academic performance and retention and graduation rates, and help them in careers or more advanced education later.
Goss is a veteran and Casper College's Hathaway scholarship coordinator.
The Peer Advisors for Veteran Education Program is part of a University of Michigan network supporting service members, veterans, and military families.
