The training and mentoring of student veterans at two universities to lead campus- and state-wide dialogues on female combatants in the Civil War and the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Working with an advisory committee consisting of veterans (emphasis on student and women veterans), faculty from CMVE member colleges and universities, veteran administration counselors, corporate veteran’s association representatives, and community members, Michigan Humanities will develop a program designed to train student reflective conversation facilitators, and hold at least three reflective community conversations both on campus and in the community.
