EDWARDSVILLE The transition from military service into higher education can be isolating for veterans.
It’s an experience Telisha Reinhardt knows well. She served in the Navy for four years before going to undergraduate and then graduate school.
“It’s really hard for me to put into words how that isolation feels, especially when you’re around people who are speaking the same language as you,” she said. “It feels like you’re an alien, and you’ve just been zapped into this classroom.”
Reinhardt is now focused on eliminating those feelings for veteran students at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, where she coordinates military and veteran services at a new Military and Veteran Resource Center, which opened in January. She said she’s working to establish support groups for women veterans, veterans of color and other marginalized groups.
