“Google on Wednesday announced a $3.2 million grant that four organizations
will share to produce data-based research on how student veterans are faring in
college. The Institute for Veterans and Military Families, Student Veterans of
America, Posse Foundation and Veterans of Foreign Wars will study which
colleges are the most successful at supporting student veterans, which campus
programs have the biggest impact and how veterans' majors of study match up
with employment opportunities. The resulting report will be made public, Google
officials said, and the company will fund the expansion of programs that are
found to be the most effective”.

I found this interesting and
pleasing to see since there is not a whole lot of “tracked” data out there
about this subject.
A bit of self-promotion here, please feel free to read my dissertation
on this subject (much smaller scale); http://gradworks.umi.com/34/93/3493015.html

The more people who get involved with this type of research
the better.
