codes, and generating themes fromcategories [23]. The authors have identified that over 50 percent of veterans who enter the college ofengineering at Kansas State University are dismissed or discontinue enrollment. Approximately34 percent of the discontinued/dismissed students leave after their first semester and another 31percent leave after their first year. Therefore, the results of the survey will be directly linked tothe retention of students following their first semester in fall 2018 and spring 2019. If there is apositive relationship between veteran student retention and social responsibility, the final surveyand interview results will be used to propose an intervention.References[1] President's Council of Advisors on Science and
