Executive Summary




The Student Veterans of America (SVA) organization advocates and supports educational goals for student
veterans. On college campuses across the country, students benefit from pre-professional networking, scholarships,
leadership training and assistance with the Post 9/11 GI Bill paperwork through SVA. As an organization, SVA is currently
seeking to improve member retention and develop consistent messaging and branding across all of its chapters. Research
indicates that the campus of Brigham Young University (BYU) poses additional challenges to SVA because of a lack of
easily accessible veteran resources, no current existing SVA chapter, and a general lack of awareness among BYU students,
BYU administration and the general Provo community of student veterans.

This is a report of a month campaign implemented within the BYU and Provo area to resolve the SVA challenges.
It documents the research, strategic planning, application and analysis performed.

Problem and Purpose

Campaign Implementation

The SVA campaign targeted BYU students, administration and the Provo community. To create a sense of
connection, the overarching theme was welcome home veterans, making BYU and Provo more welcoming to and
educated about student veterans. Many tactics and strategies were executed but the following had the biggest impact:
1. Created a video that featured SVA and was broadcast at BYUs sold out basketball game, reaching an audience of over
18,987.
2. Secured media coverage in BYU school newspaper and the local paper, The Daily Herald, as well as two published blog
posts on the College of Nursings blog, Learning the Healers Art highlighting students serving veterans.
3. Hosted Four Star General Robert C. Oaks, who discoursed with other prominent veteran leaders for Provo community
with sponsored catering and over 80 in attendance.
4. Implemented Student Veteran Awareness Week on BYU campus including booths, a Welcome Home Veterans
decorated play-house placed around campus with candy and flyers, photo booth hug-a-vet day, several videos on
social media and efforts being featured on BYU Snapchat story.
5. Created strategic online and social media platforms with posts reaching over 6,000 as well as being retweeted by the
national SVA organization with a reach of over 4,383 people.

Results and Evaluation



Analysis of the SVA campaign met the goal and objectives of increasing the knowledge and support for BYU
student veterans and SVAs resources among the BYU and Provo community. The campaign succeeded in targeting the
public with compelling messages. The results included:
Establish a baseline of SVA and its program among 6,000 (20 percent) students and 22,000 (20 percent) community
members by March 15, 2016.
Found a student veteran and advisor to start and lead a veteran club on BYUs campus by March 15, 2016.
Created BYU SVA social media community page and increased engagement and followers by 200 within one month.
A student veteran club has been created on BYU campus because outside organizations such as SVA are prohibited on
campus under BYUs private university regulations and policies.
BYU faculty veterans now mentor student veterans on campus and are more involved in their transition phase.

Research

Secondary Research
The following secondary research was conducted in order to understand key publics such as BYU and the communities
relationship with veterans.
BYU has more than 70 clubs and not one club represents veterans.
BYU has a single staff member dedicated to helping veterans in the Veterans and Military Support Office. All veteran
questions go to that one staff member.
Student veterans make up 0.6 percent of the student body at BYU.
BYU does not participate in The Yellow Ribbon Program because to be a part of The Yellow Ribbon
Program the universitys annual tuition has to be greater than the limit that the VA will pay. BYUs annual

tuition for 2014-2015 is less than 25 percent of the maximum amount.

Primary Research

We conducted a pre- and post campaign survey specifically targeting BYU students and 12 in-depth interviews.

Interviews


There were 12 in-depth interviews conducted interviewing BYU faculty, BYU student veterans, other SVA chapter
advisors, ROTC and Utah American Legion representatives. Below common themes identified from the interviews:
Student Veterans
There is a need for a veteran community on campus to facilitate a connection with other student veterans.
Campus veterans seek a sense of belonging over public recognition.
Student veterans differ only slightly from other students in psychographics, but bring additional skills and life
experience.
Student veterans want to share experiences but dont want to call too much attention to themselves.
BYU is not a campus where student veterans are eligible for government assistance with tuition.
There are struggles with communication for funding applications and getting GI Bill and other financial benefits at
BYU.
Veterans in the Community
The veteran community wants to support BYU veterans.
Members of the veteran community have tried to work with BYU in the past to help veterans, but BYU didnt want to
partner with them.
Neighboring SVA chapters such as The University of Utah has at least 800 veterans on campus with an active SVA
chapter.
Over the past few years the University of Utah had six veterans transfer to its school from BYU because of
miscommunication with funding and treatment.
BYU administration has a negative reputation for its treatment of veterans.
University Administration
There is only one staff member who operates the Veterans & Military Services Office on campus.
This staff member is not a veteran himself, but has single handedly established the above office.
The Veterans & Military Services Office is the closest resource to a Veterans Center at BYU.
This single office handles many responsibilities including all applications, funding for the GI Bill, basic university
funding, and is the only resource for contacting the administration.
There are no resources offered on campus for specific counseling for veterans with any type of transition period or
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) coping methods.

Survey


From the pre survey, 27 percent of students were unsure if they knew a veteran or not. Only 13 percent of
participants who said they knew a veteran interacted with that veteran on a daily bases. Seven percent interacted once a

SWOT ANalysis
Strengths

Weaknesses

BYU has a number of different active social media


channels.
BYU has an active Veteran Honor Flight program and
offers a class for students to learn about veterans.
The city of Provo, UT has a supportive community of
veterans.

BYU has a poor reputation for its treatment of student


veterans.
BYU does not offer many veteran resources such as
counseling, veteran success center and networking.
Across BYUs campus students and faculty are not aware
about student veterans.
BYU students, faculty and administration believe the
ROTC is full of veterans and provide resources for
veterans.
BYU currently has only 150 student veterans on campus
using the GI Bill.
By default there is only one staff member helping
veterans.

Opportunities

Threats

BYU has the opportunity to connect with community


members though the Utah County Office and the University
of Utahs SVA chapter.
Tuition at BYU is low compared to private and public
universities.
The military already has an on-campus presence at BYU
through the ROTC.
BYU has 16 faculty members who are veterans, some of the
faculty members are willing to mentor student veterans.
A few faculty, students and community members are willing
to help create an SVA chapter.
BYU ROTC has an interest in partnering with the SVA and
the ROTC has a strong relationship with BYU Athletics.

BYU does not have an SVA chapter.


Some returning veterans go to school and are not part of SVA
because they do not want be affiliated with the military.
BYU regulations and policies make it difficult to accomplish
SVAs goals.
Because BYU is a private university, it does not usually partner
with outside organizations.
The military discourages student veterans from attending private
universities.
BYU has a list of limited organizations and restaurants that can
donate; if a business wants to donate and is not on the list, BYU
might not accept its donation.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prevent
knowing and contacting student veterans at BYU.

Situation Analysis

The SVA seeks to support veterans through its educational goals by providing support and advocacy on college
campuses throughout the country. Currently, SVA has 1,200 chapters and represents 400,000 student veterans across U.S.
campuses. SVA provides many services to student veterans such as pre-professional networking, opportunities to connect
with professors, scholarships, leadership training and assistance with the Post 9/11 GI Bill paperwork. The GI Bill is used
by veterans, their spouses and children. A few concerns SVA faces include retaining members and inconsistent messaging
and branding within all chapters and outside the military community.

BYU brings additional challenges because it does not have many student veterans on-campus or who use the GI
Bill. Out of the 450 individuals using the GI Bill, only 150 are actually veterans and the remaining are family members of
veterans. On BYUs campus, students, faculty and administration are not aware of student veterans. Many people believe
that ROTC cadets are veterans and ROTC provides resources for student veterans. BYU does not offer specific resources
such as counseling or mentoring for veterans. Finally, BYUs administration has a negative reputation of its treatment of
student veterans. In the last year, at least six undergraduate veterans have transferred to other schools in Utah.

One of the obstacles faced is that BYU is a private university that has regulations and policies for its organizations
that kept the campaign from accomplishing SVAs objectives. BYU does not usually partner with outside organizations
unless under special circumstances such as an external academic organization. For this reason, BYU does not have an
SVA chapter and does not have easily accessible resources for veterans. Other regulatory problems include all donations
from organizations and restaurants must be on an approved donation list. BYU could deny the donation. Veterans are
discouraged from attending private universities for financial reasons, resulting in a low use of the GI Bill on BYUs campus.
Additionally, some veterans do not want to be part of SVA because they are finished with their military involvement. The
final regulatory challenge faced was the FERPA laws that prevented identification of BYUs student veterans and their
contact information.

Core Opportunity


Based on research conducted, the main opportunity was to increase awareness about BYU student veterans and
SVAs resources among BYU administration, students, student veterans and the Provo veteran community; if brand
awareness is improved then more people would be aware of student veterans and the need for resources on BYUs campus,
which could help change the public perception of the broken veteran.

Creative Strategy

Every year, thousands of veterans are welcomed home by friends and family as they return from serving their
country. The Welcome Home, Veterans campaign attempted to harness the warm welcome and spirit of appreciation

that communities often show military veterans and provide a way for this spirit of gratitude to be perpetuated in

a way that could create a veteran-friendly campus. The strategy behind this idea was to increase public awareness

among the Provo veteran community, BYU administration, BYU student veterans and BYU students about the importance
of having a welcoming atmosphere for veterans. This strategy was adopted to educate the community about SVA and the
impact of the GI Bill. Welcome Home, Veterans communicates the message that veterans, whether they are coming
physically home from serving, moving to a new location or looking for a comfortable place to be themselves again, are
always welcome wherever they go. A logo was created that embodies this message.

Goal and Objectives



Increase knowledge and support for BYU student veterans and SVAs resources and services among the BYU and
Provo community.
1. Establish a baseline of SVA and its program among 6,000 (20 percent) students and 22,000 (20 percent) community
members by March 15, 2016.
2. Find a student veteran and advisor who will be willing to start and lead an SVA Chapter on BYUs campus by March 15,
2016.
3. Create BYU SVA social media profiles and create a community of followers by an increase in 200 people through
engagement within one month.

Key Publics and Messages


The campaign focused on four key publics. The main public was BYU student veterans ages 26 to 35 years old. The
other publics included BYU administration, BYU students ages 18 to 30 and the older generation of veterans ages 55+ in
the Provo community.

Messages

Below are the main messages crafted for the campaign. Each message is public specific and focuses on each publics
motivating self-interests while identifying a category of information and/or communicating a desired action for that public
to take.

BYU Student Veterans

Help establish the first SVA club on BYU campus to create a campus home for students who understand what the
transition is like from soldier to student.
SVA is a national organization committed to creating veteran-friendly campuses across the country and provides
financial, social and educational opportunities for student veterans like you.
Rationale: BYU student veterans are an unorganized on-campus community that would benefit from membership in an SVA chapter. Because
no current chapter exists, many students are unaware of the full potential benefits that could be made available to them.

BYU Administration

Show appreciation and support for BYU student veterans by participating in the first-ever Veterans Appreciation Week
on BYUs campus.
Make BYU a great home for student veterans by helping them to establish a club that provides access to scholarships,
professional opportunities and a network of military peers, easing a soldiers transition to student life.
Rationale: Within BYU administration are gatekeepers that decide whether or not our campus has an SVA chapter. Administration
also has a great potential to support on-campus events and desires for the campus to perceived as a good home for veterans.

BYU Students

Show your patriotism and gratitude for Americas armed forces by participating in BYUs Veterans Appreciation Week
Serve local veterans at Central Utah Veterans Home to show your appreciation for those who served our country.
Rationale: The student life experience at BYU provides opportunities for students to learn about new groups and organizations on-campus. With
the motto Enter to learn, go forth to serve, service opportunities are a great way for students to show support for a cause.

Provo Veteran Community

Join Provo area veterans and learn about the benefits available to you and your family at a veterans appreciation event.
Follow us on Facebook to learn about how veterans find a home on campus after military service through employment
at BYU.
Rationale: The BYU community has a large influence on Provo. Utah is historically a very conservative state with a great love for veterans and a
deep cultural respect for those serving in the military. The local VA is well established and eager to partner in connecting veterans of
all ages in the community.

Strategies and Tactics

The appendix for examples and a sampling of tactics.

Strategy 1

Educate BYU students on campus about student veterans through face-to-face interaction.
Rationale: In research conducted, BYU students are not aware of the 150 veterans on campus. Because of this small number of veterans on
campus, there was almost no support or awareness of student veterans and their needs. In order to raise more awareness on SVA, BYU students
need to be educated about their own student veterans.

Tactic 1


A visual representation of a home was set up on campus to educate and engage students about creating a home
for veterans. For one week various centralized locations on campus were chosen to place a small, decorated playhouse
to engage and create awareness about veterans for students. The playhouse was used to represent our creative strategy-Welcome Home, Veterans. The campaign created face-to-face conversations with BYU students about SVA and
encouraged to engage on social media.

Tactic 2


Four booths were hosted at high-traffic locations on campus. Educational posters were strategically placed to
educate students about student veterans. One booth invited students to create paper airplanes that were donated to the
American Legion. A photo booth was created to showcase a national Hug-a-Vet day, where students could engage on
social media and post pictures with veterans. The other booths informed, promoted and engaged students about SVA, the
GI Bill and BYUs student veterans. Veterans and ROTC members were at all the booths to answer questions and make the
experience relevant and credible.

Strategy 2

Engage with BYU students, administration, and the Provo community through social media platforms and local papers.
Rationale: Social media was a huge tool that was used to the campaigns advantage in order to interact with more people. The internet provided
an easier way to spread awareness and communicate with all publics. Facebook was the biggest platform--it helped generate a huge amount of
awareness in the community and it encouraged people to spread the awareness to those they knew. The university paper and local paper reached
those that were inaccessible through social media.

Tactic 1


The BYU school newspaper and the local paper, The Daily Herald, wrote articles on the student veterans at BYU
and the events held during the campaign. Two blog posts were published on the College of Nursings blog, Learning the
Healers Art, highlighting students serving veterans.

Tactic 2


A Facebook page was created to generate interactions and engagement with students and faculty. The hashtag
#becauseofveteransIcan, allowed students to spread awareness to the Provo community about veterans. This tactic
allowed the sharing of statistics and facts on veterans.

Tactic 3


We created a video to promote Student Veteran Awareness Week by showing respect for the American Flag

and veterans. It was shared on all social media sites and on Facebook.

Tactic 4


Veteran faculty spotlights were created to highlight those who have served and now work at BYU. These spotlights
showed BYU students and the community that there are many veterans on campus with amazing stories.

Strategy 3

Bring the community and the veterans together through events.


Rationale: The research showed that it would be important to have an event where we could connect student veterans, faculty veterans, and the
community with each other. By connecting the community to the veterans it allowed a growth in support and respect for all veterans. The main
reason behind this was to be able to make a difference in the community and join the two groups together.

Tactic 1



The Honor Utah Veterans event was hosted to honor all veterans in the community and provide student

veterans with mentors in the Provo area and information about veteran benefits. Former Four-Star General
Robert C. Oaks spoke, as well as other highly regarded veterans. The community, students and veterans were invited to
attend.

Tactic 2


A video was created a video to honor the ROTCs 100-year anniversary that was shown at the BYU basketball game
during halftime. The SVA logo and Student Veterans Awareness week information was displayed at the end of the video.

Tactic 3


A service event was held at the Central Utah Veterans Home to connect the student veterans with the veterans in
the community. The veterans were able to share stories and meet with one another.

Strategy 4
Student Veterans Awareness Week.
Rationale: A full week in the campaign was dedicated to establish awareness on campus. The goal was to get students excited and involved with
the veterans around campus. During this week tactics were implemented each day that could get the students and veterans involved together.

Tactic 1


A video was created to inform the public about SVA to show respect to the American Flag and to veterans. It was
shared on Facebook and was boosted for $6 targeting 18 to 55 year olds in Provo.

Tactic 2


The hashtag #becauseofveteransIcan was debuted and used to generate conversation by inviting students and
other members of the community to post stories of veterans and how they influence lives.

Tactic 3


In addition to the educational booths, there was a photo booth in a main building on campus to invite students and
others in the area to take photos with American Flag themed backdrop and items. Candy and flyers were handed out during
the photo booth.

Budget

Our campaign was funded through $550.10 of in-kind donations by community members, local businesses and
veteran organizations and an additional $287.17 in cash expenditures. The total overall budgeted amount was $832.27 (see
Appendix for full budget).

Evaluation
Objective 1

Establish a baseline of SVA and its program among 6,000 (20 percent) students and 22,000 (20 percent) community
members by March 15, 2016.

We teamed up with BYUs ROTC and created a video that featured ROTC and SVA. The video was played at BYUs
mens basketball half time reaching over 18,987 people, 5,000 were students and community members attended. We also
held a veterans event at Provos Historic Courthouse. BYU student veterans, community veterans, community members and
University of Utah SVA members were invited. In total, 71 people attended the event. After the event, we received emails
from veterans and veteran organizations that have a desire to help BYU student veterans. BYUs campus
newspaper, The Daily Universe, wrote an article on our event for its webpage, and the local paper, The Daily

Herald, wrote a recap on our veterans event.The Daily Universe online has an estimate of 254,044 page views from faculty,
alumni,
administration and parents read our article on The Daily Universe online. Over 32,000 people view The Daily
Herald each day and approximately 700,000 view the online website each month. The article was published the day after the
main event. A post survey sent to BYU students showed that student were more aware about student veterans. The number
of students who said they didnt know if they knew a veterans decreased by 2 percent from the pre survey.

Objective 2
Find a student veteran and advisor who will be willing to start and lead an SVA Chapter on BYUs campus by March 15,
2016.

Before March 15, 2016, we had both a BYU student veteran and a veteran faculty member volunteer to start and
maintain an SVA Chapter on BYUs campus. However, BYU wont allow a SVA Chapter on campus due to
partnerships limitations with outside organizations. Instead, the student and faculty member organized a BYU
Student Veterans Club in its place. All the social media platforms for the campaign were kept active and passwords
given to the student veteran who is starting the club. Also, 5 out of the 16 veteran faculty members volunteered as mentors
for student veterans to support the veterans club.

Objective 3

Create BYU SVA social media profiles and increase engagement and followers by 200 within one month.

The platforms utilized were Facebook and Twitter. Facebook had the largest impact.There were four paid boosted
posts that were targeted to the Utah Valley audience. By selecting what interests our audience was interested in, we were
able to reach reach 5,211 more people through these boosts. One boost was used for sharing a video that had a reach
of over 6,000. Through Facebook, The National SVA organization shared the campaigns video about ROTCs 100-year
anniversary. SVAs share had an organic reach of 4,383 people and the interaction was higher than any other post. Over the
course of the campaign, the Facebook page was able to gain 221 likes on our page. Through face-to-face interactions, the
campaign was able to encourage students on campus to view and like the Facebook page.

Twitter was used to ask questions to our audience. Directly tweeting about SVA increased reach and reactions. The
question asked was Because of veterans I can and people were able to respond with the hashtag and share it with
their followers. By tagging different BYU clubs and organizations, the campaigns Twitter had a rise in the interactions that
received and saw better outcomes this way.

A 10 second video on student veterans was created and featured on Snapchat on the BYU campus story where over
6,000 students viewed the information. It was estimated that over 1,000 students were able to see our educational booths in
total.

Conclusion

Impact/Sustainability

The Welcome Home, Veterans campaign was successful in educating and informing BYUs campus and Provo
community about the SVAs role in serving veterans.

Beyond establishing campus and community awareness of SVA, the first Veterans Appreciation Week at BYU set
standards for future involvement from veteran employees on campus. Many faculty veterans contacted the campaign via
e-mail, inquiring about how they could sustain future events. These volunteers proudly shared their BYU stories through
the campaigns social media channels and this engagement of veteran employees on campus creates a continuous resource
for student veterans at BYU. The turnover of students every year underlines the importance of establishing guidelines for
long-term activities that involve student veterans and influencing both students and administration.

In addition to providing education about SVAs resources, the Honor Utah Veterans Event created friendships
between student veterans and local Provo veterans. These local veterans united together to celebrate Provos proud tradition
of military service and will become localized to members of the newly formed student veterans club.

Appendix B: Research

In-depth interview notes with veteran faculty: Kent Blad and Ron Ulberg
Questions:
1. Tell us about the veterans program that the nursing program has?What was your transition like? What resources did you
have?
2. Do you work at all with veterans on campus who are students?
3. They did, but dont anymore, sometimes get the ROTC (military and Air Force)
4. Two years ago had a man who was in the Navy
5. What has been your experience with veterans on campus?
6. Would you be willing to help build awareness for our veterans on campus?
7. Do you have any suggestions on how we can make
8. Ask about SVA
9. Willing to get involved and help
10. Professors who are veterans, contact
11. Change campus, more involved

Kent Blad:



Seniors in nursing program has a Global and Public Health


15+ years ago to help focus on those and need to look at different cultures and diversity
11 years the program has been going
Going to D.C for 10 years

Ron Ulberg:
Have student who go to other countries, some stay in Utah for refugees and some work with veterans.
Give students the opportunity to meet veterans and learn about the military, how it changes people and when they are
out in the field and challenges to come back
Goal: to get students to understand the veterans
Two thirds of veterans do not have health care through the VA system
Every nurse will be involved with a veterans
We soon realized that the veterans is a major it,
BYU was the first nursing program to do this, a few school now have one, BYU is asked to help start veterans course

Kent Blad:
Class motto: To know them is to care for them better
They teach their students to know the veterans: what they are, who they are, why they are the way they are.

Ron Ulberg:
24 million veterans and there are sub groups depending on what war they served in
World War 2, very conservative, independent
Teach students that depending on what war they fought in they need different care, and so on.

Kent Blad:
Secret to success: the more the two of them shut up and the more the students are exposed to veterans themselves. they
are veterans, but they have limited experience from how they served. The more we can expose students to the veterans
the more they learn. do not have a text book because the veterans are their text books
VSO: american legion, veterans of fallen, military officer association (have donated money)
Kents father was a veterans, rural communities have more veterans
Go out to rural communities and talk to them every year
Doesnt matter what veteran, homeless or CEO, they are all equal simply because they served. They deserve everything
we have.

Ron Ulberg:
D.C is to have them get VA is in DC, head of veteran affairs is one of the presents secs.

Meet with State congressman who are involved with political off
Go to Penta gone to the military headquarters
Meet holocaust survivors
Understand more about military culture
2 years ago, brother in the military, student served, come home and killed himself
Interact with people who have lost limes, PDST, get more appreciation
Kent Blad:
Everything they do they try to get students in front of veterans and people who care about veterans.
Mike Lee and Brian Halthform has been a lot of support to them

Their Ideas:
1. like need a veterans affair program the U of U. Patition the admissionstartion that provides a military person who is an
expert to help Steve. Need expert on Benefits office
2. Young veterans: they feel allow because they have come from the battle field where they were a tight field. released
and come here and they are allow. This program would be perfect to form a community. Community of friends and
resources (other places to meet friends, counseling informal, more than just money resources)
3. LDS church has a military department. The direct has been helping the nursing. Have full-time missionaries. Know
every single LDS military throughout the world. Very small program. Try to keep in touch with all the military.Become
a serve opportunity to keep in touch with those who are serving. Try to get letters out, have church servers, have care
packages.
4. Have a LDS chaplains school. All military have champions (bishops) are tried to meet the needs for the spiritual needs
of the military. Great to have access to the program through the club. Two gentiment JSB. Provide activities. Masters
program
5. Lets be real. They are little awkward, they want to interact with the opposite sex. Most will be males. If you can help.
Nurses students. SNA board to see if they would meet. Feel like they are not normal and are different when they are
not different. There is no reason their passions
Veterans are independent and will not get a response
Create a awareness on campus about this office

More ideas:


What would we want? These are people like us: social events, serve, know if any special benefits what, what is that
us as a group, their service makes them a little different, but they want to get back into regular life, Do not join the military
unless you like to serve. Dont try to make them feel extra special, they will say they are just doing their job, you can thank
and honor them, but DO NOT MAKE HUGE FUSSES FOR THEM. They want to be part of your group. they want to b
the person just for doing their job. 90% of what we like to do and 10% of what the military related stuff.

In-depth interview notes with student veteran: Joe Moxon


Joe Moxon:
Most people dont like steve, doesnt make it hard to get benefit.
GI Bill: get a amount of money for serving, more than enough to get through college, most BYU students joined the
military to pay for college.
Total: 336 months, every year figure out how GI Bill will be
Can get better GI Bill if you are deployed, but have to be for at least 3 years to get the full amount.
Some people dont use their GI Bill because it is cheap at BYU and use it for grad school.
In order to use the GI Bill during school you have to be a full time school, only get half of GI Bill. You are wasting
money.
Have to take classes that are relevant to their major or a minor of at least 12 credits, can take a business class on top of
the 12 credits or a class that is not relevant for the major
Like to see: someone else in Steve Olsens Job,
BYU is not on the list for the places that the government will pay the tuition
Not a real need for SVA
Worthwhile: Free food, Meet the opposite sex,
Utah Guard service comes up in the regular conversation with friends and family, thankful more than wanting to be

seen; something I do, not something that I am--a lot more to me than that
Where to start: BYU Idaho--what do they do? whats effective?; Westminster--same thing

How to make people come to things:











Food
money
extra credit
make it a class ( credit)--Student Development class (make it a transition class),
help them get to the 12 credit
civilian assimilation class
social skills class
Romantic relationships
Chaplins are not a good idea pastors, preachers, unless they are/ have been in the military
Perhaps look to graduate students for the event

Ideas:


Gala with keynote speakers, food, meet someone cool (congressman, etc), honor the veterans with their families,
think about a competition essay (american values: freedom, god and country)--American Legion

In-depth interview notes student veteran: Andrew Evans











Utah Army National Guard (Part time reservist)


First year law school
2 Years in the military- in ROTC before law school
2011 joined ROTC enlisted in the army
2014 became lutin in the Utah national Guard
2015 started course
Aug. 2015 started Law School
dont qualify for G.I Bill yet because of timing of training
Havent finished BLC
Have to be in military for over 2 years

Being a student veteran how do you feel like youve been treated?









Answer: Reasonable accommodations


Stability needs
Training needs: leave 1 weekend/month
School is very accommodating
Law school is very flexible, positive feelings
Help with academic, will let him take his test early
Has no Idea who Steve Olsen is
Law school is a separate entity
Dont know he was eligible for Tuition help until recently
Tuition Assistance for national guard

Why did you serve in military?





Both my parents served


Grew up wanting to serve
Southern Virginia University started there no SVA program
Virginia Military Institute

How many BYU Veterans do you know?


4
Met at Law School
Club by Professor Jensen for National Security

JAG: military lawyers

What if BYU had an SVA chapter?












Yes, it would be helpful


I like idea of serving veterans my personal passion
An organization with students would help open up the community more
Good support group
Other Veterans feel
*Active duty in the marians
*Different Environment
BYUs Clubs are childish
Why would any veteran want to do any club
Veterans see BYU as a childish University
If taken different approach, SVA could work

n-depth interview SVA advisor of Utah University: Randy Perkins


Priorities
Provide students with financial aid, scholarships
National conference for students to attend- high figures
Research shows that broken soldier narrative is completely inaccurate.

Advocacy of the GI bill with legislation







Policy priorities: protect the GI bill


Enhance the benefits and continue them
Veterans for STEM
Current bill only gives 36 months of service (impossible for engineer students). Hope to extend
Veterans can pay instate tuition and it is covered.
Credits and accreditation (For example: Nurses/EMTs).

2016-2017 vision: Continue growth in chapters and programs






















Continue expanding to 10 new locations


Add a leadership institute event for faculty and staff
*(formalized leadership training)
Award additional funding to the new chapters
Announce another years worth of awards
Every veteran has access to dedicated space
340K in 2015 scholarships.
2016 the 1 millionth dollar will be awarded.
Committed to $500,000 in scholarships in 2016- goal to reach above $1 million
Focus on getting better and telling our story.
*Tell stories both locally and nationally
*Empower the student veterans by showing the awesome successes of veterans across the country.
Be in contact with SVA outreach team
svacomms@studentveterans.org
google GI comparison tool
Know and understand target and segment it
Building awareness is a big part, identifying ways that this chapter can publicize what its doing and hoping to achieve,
put together a proposal on how they can improve those items.
Establish a contact list
Biggest obstacle as an organization: Very well know within the belt way and strong chapters- obscurity
20 Chapters on 20 campuses

Q10HowcouldBYUbemoreinclusiveofstudentveterans?
I think it would be good for BYU to recognize them, or at least advertise an special programs they have for vets.

Q10HowcouldBYUbemoreinclusiveofstudentveterans?

financial aid, support groups or clubs

How could BYU be more inclusive of student veterans?

By not labeling them and being inclusive of all students

Perhaps honor them in some way publicly or invite them to share their experiences.

Help us know who they are

N/A

advertise who they are

To be honest, I am not sure

Hold meetings?

Just treat them like normal students. I don't think tey want special treatment necessarily.

I don't know

I think they should do something to recognize student veterans on campus during Veteran's Day or some other
way.

Make their presence known.

I don't know.
More awareness and honor them in a celebration
I'm not sure...I wasn't aware that BYU was exclusive of student veterans.
Offering counseling or other support services
Teach students more about student veterans and their value.
I think it is important to see that their needs are met, but that they're not treated like outsiders and that they
feel welcome and accepted
Provide them the help they need to transition back. Health care physically and mentally.
I'm not very aware of them, so helping ordinary students know more about them would be great.
Giving special thanks...
Are there really any student vetarans?

I'm not really sure what you mean by student veteran. When I think of veteran I think of the Elderly, but I guess
there could be younger guys who are veterans as well. Are they excluding them right now? Are there any
problems? If they are a BYU student, they should get the same privileges as all other BYU kids, but paying their
tuition or something if they don't already might be an acceptable compliment for sacrificing to serve our
country.
Be sensitive to how they want to be treated
Pay for their tuition
Activities and clubs
Explain more of what they are.
I don't know.
Highlight some of the veterans more or have events for the veterans
Talk about them more?

Maybe spotlight them at gamrs more

Maybe have more clubs that cater to their needs and where they can find fellow student veterans. I think BYU
can do a better job honoring them so students can be more aware of the student veterans at the school. I don't
really know any and didn't realize that there are some.

I don't necessarily feel like they are excluded.

Let us know which students are veterans

Do they even have a veterans club?

Help them be part of ROTC and other clubs where they can share their experiences

As far as I know there's no recognition of what they do for us, maybe recognize the veterans we have on
campus

I didn't know that we had any

By having a resource center for them.

i don't think i know any so this my answers are inconclusive for this subject.

not sure

Find ways to have activities just for them or in honor of them.

I don't know.

draw upon their life experiences in classes

I'm not sure...

Not sure.

well...I don't know that I know any.

I dont know

I have no idea!

It could recognize them in some way instead of ignoring them like BYU does to other at risk groups.

Not really sure what you all mean by "student veterans" in the first place. So perhaps putting out messages who
they are would be a good start.

Showcase them

Give them hugs? And just be generally more understanding and sensitive on certain subjects.

I was unaware that they weren't being included. Maybe just making sure they know about the opportunities
Byu can offer them.

Special programs

Identify who they are first.

I don't know

Recognizing if they are even there.

Have events, recognize them more public ally, make whole student body aware

Be more open about it

I don't know any...but I feel like they are just normal students/people that have performed honorable service.

I thought we were pretty inclusive, until just now

Talk about them more, and offer aervices to help.

Have activities and events celebrating them and getting the awareness out. As far as I know, classes and
classmates are inclusive.

They could honor them at events

Honor them in a forum.

recognize them in classes

Not sure

Awareness?

No idea

By honoring and recognizing the students

Inform us

Honor them? I don't know who they are.

Offer student veterans the same resources as student athletes.

No clue. Maybe a parade in their honor?

I have no idea.

Treat them as students. Most just want to live a normal life.

As a member of the National Guard serving my country, i am not yet of veteran status, but the thing i feel would
be most meaningful would be to educate students on respect and proper etiquette for there country and those
that serve it. I dont want special attention. I want to be included just as everyone else is. i do want students that
stop and put their hand on their heart when the flag is being raised, or bow their head for a brief moment of
thanks as they hear their national anthem.

I don't think BYU is exclusive


More awareness
Feature sotries on them in BYU News

Recognize them, maybe have them talk about their experiences to the student body?
tell byu they're there

Make the student body aware of them maybe


Promote them on social media pages, hold special devotionals

Let us know who they are


not sure

Have them mentor


Don't know
Make them more visible
I don't know
Not sure exactly.
I don't feel that BYU really needs to be. If there's some form of disability, obviously there's more to be done. But
if not, a veteran is just another student. I don't feel like they should get special treatment. Maybe some
recognition on holidays or Veteran's Day; things like that, but nothing that would dramatically change what BYU
already does.
I'm not sure.
I think it would be good for BYU to recognize them, or at least advertise an special programs they have for vets.
financial aid, support groups or clubs

Q11Whatdoyouknowaboutstudentveterans?
BYU students who fought in wars

Q11Whatdoyouknowaboutstudentveterans?
What do you know about student veterans?
I didn't realize there were a lot of "veterans" as in people who have already returned from military service.

Next to nothing.
I don't really consider ROTC students to be veterans, unless they were enlisted and now are back in school in
this program. I'm not sure that I even know any students who were in the military. I don't really know anything
in particular.
They are fit, sometimes have PTSD and are sometimes anti social. Maybe they feel different from students but I
don't feel different from them.

nothing.

Not much

nothing. i didn't even know we had them....

not much

Not much. I don't know one personally and I don't know what options/assistance is available to them.

Nothing

I only know one but as far as I know it seems there aren't any special programs or recognition for them on
campus.
ROTC members can be considered vets, but they aren't actually considered vets until they've been overseas.
That is what my friends in ROTC have told me at least. I don't think BYU has many, but I appreciate the ones we
have.
I know nothing about student veterans
They've given up a lot of their lives to help better other's lives and that's very noble to me. I don't know how
much else there is to know.
Not very much, I don't know any student veterans
nothing
Very little
Unfortunately, nothing.

Nothing
Not much, truly. Do we have any?
Very little, if anything
Absolutely nothing
I don't
Nothing
Not much at all
Not a whole lot.

I don't really know anything about them. I would love to know more about who they are, what their lives are
like, and what needs they have and how I can help.
They are students who chose to serve in the military at some point in their life. They return hoping to live a
normal life full of opportunity.

I know very little about student veterans

Nothing, really.

I had a roomate in rotc he got up real early

Nothing

I only know ROTC people, that they help with flag ceremony, that they do push-ups at the football games when
we score, and that sometimes they have to dress in uniform or combat gear for the day.

Not much

Not very much to be honest.

Their story is different than mine

They don't seem to be a cohesive community

nothing

Nothing, really

Nothing.

Next to nothing

Not really anything.

They are most likely either ROTC or in the national guard.

Hardly anything. I've only met ROTC members that have not been deployed.

nothing

Not much

Not much at all.

They are students who served in the military

Nothing

They are students that have participating in armed forces or government protection services

Not much

They are just regular people.

That they are students who served in one of the branches of the military

Not much. I don't even know if we have any on campus.

Not much. In fact, I don't exactly know when you say "student veteran". Is that someone who already was
deployed and is now back in school? Someone who's in the ROTC? Someone who graduated, then was
deployed?

I think it's an incredible thing to serve our country and I have a lot of respect for them
not very much

Unless they are a part of the ROTC, not much.

Nothing
Nothing.

I really don't know much about them, that's why I think they should be recognized
Honestly, not much at all
I don't know anything. It would be nice if this survey provided a little more information about them. It was hard
for me to understand the questions

Not much at all, really.


Nothing

basically nothing. This survey kind of confused me

They're good, hardworking people.


I don't know much about them.

not much
Almost nothing.
I know that they are men and woman that are serving or have served for a set amount of time and are now
recieving an education. And they are good men and women.

Nothing
Not much. Are they the ones who put up the flag?

Nothing, really.

literally nothing
Really nothing

They've served in various positions during their service-- medical, infantry, etc.

What do you know about the 9/11 GI Bill?


I am confused by this survey.
Not much, just that is is legislation that controls a lot of the policies concerning veterans. I'm not familiar with
the details of the bill.
educational program for those who've served for more than 90 days after 9/11
It helps veterans pay for schooling after they leave the military
It amended the previous Title 38 to allow more benefits for education, kinda like the GI bill after WWII.

February 15th at 10:33pm - F I N A L L Y {After almost a year and a full


semester of not touching anything to do with my collage series, I started
to feel extremely ill on the inside, that feeling kind of like when someone
takes a toy away from you& you just give up complaining and asking
when youll get it back. A little over a month from now, Ill have my
second (first in the photo department) show at SVA. Its a push for myself
to get back into my world& to create what made me feel safe in the first
place. Ten new photos, all printed large format, as well as three
collaged busts (one brand new) & a mini retrospective with the four
original masks I began this series on.

Q10HowcouldBYUbemoreinclusiveofstudentveterans?
HowcouldBYUbemoreinclusiveofstudentveterans?

I'm not sure, I feel like they are treated well


Give them discounts and maybe make a day to recognize them and their service.
I could do better of finding out who they are.

How could BYU be more inclusive of student veterans?

Have some student veterans

Stephen Olson, BYU's Military Relations advisor, is superb. We could hold annual events to honor those who
served on holidays such as Memorial Day, and give them the opportunity to share stories of their service and
sacrifice in the Armed forces.

I have no idea because I don't know anything about student veterans

Maybe by offering them counseling services or scholarships.

Be more public about them, they are great people and can help others a lot

Highlight/Honor student veterans

I'm not sure--maybe we could have some sort of appreciation day or event?

I don't really know anything about student veterans

I have never seen anything here promoting veterans other than the flag room

SVA program

Unsure of their needs

I don't know.

Having an event or making them more noticeable to others

I dont know much about what we do... so that could help

Let us know about them!

I have no idea

More events

I have no idea

Not sure

Have programs to help them get readjusted to school life.

Don't know

No idea.

A week of awareness

I don't even know what student veterans are

Workshops to help veterans and non-veterans work together

By highlighting who they are.

No idea

perhaps access to good resources

Literally no idea. Maybe make people more aware of them

Providing club meetings for veterans

Create a group where they can all get together!!

I think we could have devotionals to raise awareness about student veterans.

I am not sure what student veterans are.

I have never heard of BYU doing anything for student veterans

I don't know any so... Maybe make their presence more well known

Make it more known of who they are.

Make more students aware that they are there

Events Appreciation weeks

Include veterans at big BYU events.

make sure they know about all of the events!

I don't know what a student veteran is. How can they be a veteran is they are a student? Have they served?

I don't even know what you men by student veterans. Students who have already served in the military? I
wasn't even aware that we had any of those. How large is the veteran population at BYU? Why would we feel
"sympathetic" as the previous question said? Were they injured or did they go through anything traumatic?

Have a day or a week dedicated to recognizing them.


scholarships?

maybe help them with housing?


?

no idea
Be aware.

Have some sort of appreciation day and some event raising awareness for some between-related issue. Some
patriotic celebration where they are highlighted.
I'm not really sure.

They could have a club for veterans.


An awareness campaign

I don't even know any. So maybe do things to make students more aware that they are here. Give them the
recognition that they need.
Just be their friend if i knew who they were

I just don't know any student veterans still...


I think one method would be by providing more information about them. Letting students know that there are
student veterans and making sure they have access to the resources they need.
There could be more of a military presence. Like more ROTC events that students could attend and learn more.
i have no idea
more awareness programs
Have students be more aware of their impact
Possibly? I'm not very familiar with this issue.
I'm not sure- I don't know of any. Maybe just let other students know, get information out
join groups that they may be a part of
Raise awareness
I think BYU does a good job.
Be educated on their existence and situations
I don't know what a student veteran is
I don't know what measures they have taken already taken..
I literally have no idea. I don't know what student veterans are
I haven't the slightest idea
Make then known

I honestly have no idea because I didn't know there was such a thing as student veterans. However, I'm sure
they contribute greatly to BYU culture through their examples in discipline and service.
I'm not sure
I don't know
Making them more well known. Honoring them at events
More bursaries/scholarshps.
highlight them more
I don't know. I don't know enough.
I'm not sure, I feel like they are treated well

Creating more programs and scholarships for them.

Q12Doyouknowwhatthe9/11GIBillis?

Not much
I feel like we as a demographic have a unique set of experiences that broaden our character and help us give
back to our campus community. I know that many veterans struggle with PTSD, and although that's still true
among BYU students who are almost entirely LDS, our understanding of the Atonement helps us bounce back
even stronger and make us more valuable to our peers

What do you know about the 9/11 GI Bill?
It provides full tuition and a living stipend for those who have served over 36 months on Active Duty in any
branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. It was implemented to help recruiting veterans to serve in the war in
Afghanistan and inIraq following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
It's the funding for student veteran's schooling.
I remember the name from 11th grade history. After the terrorist attacks on September 11th something about
army policy changed.
Individuals who served in the war are able to receive an education after they are done serving.
don't they pay for your school?
I think it gives veterans and their children a certain amount of money to have to get a college education
provides military men and women with benefits for active duty, after 9/11/2001
The post 9/11 GI Bill is a federal fund for students who have served in the armed forces after 9/11/01 that gives
them a few more benefits monthly than other chapters of the GI Bill
