Main contributors:
Myron, Vicki.
Summary:
Dewey was left abandoned as a kitten on the coldest night of the year stuffed in the returned book slot at the Spencer Public Library in Iowa. He won the heart of Vicki Myron, the librarian who found him, and for the next 19 years he charmed the people of Spencer.The story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat, starts in the worst possible way. Only a few weeks old, on the coldest night of the year, he was stuffed into the book return slot at the Spencer, Iowa, Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director, Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most.--From publisher description.

Summary:
Colleges and universities are experiencing dramatic increases in the enrollment of veterans due to the return of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Although many veterans choose to attend community colleges or career and technical programs, large numbers enroll at baccalaureate-granting institutions. Yet little is known about their learning experiences or how they view the campus climate. In 2010, approximately 11,000 self-identified student-veterans responded to the NSSE survey regarding their engagement experiences. This webinar presents the results of this survey and delves into the details of the student-veteran experience on our campuses. It also provides opportunities for participants to pose questions, provide feedback, or make observations as we discuss the results.
