How 铺平道路 Works
Peer Advisors for Veteran Education (铺平道路) is a peer support program that connects incoming student veterans on college campuses with student veterans who are trained as Peer Advisors who can help them navigate college life, address challenges they may face, refer them to appropriate resources on and off-campus, and provide ongoing support. 铺平道路 builds on the camaraderie veterans experience in the military to create a sense of community and connectedness that contributes to academic and personal success.
