Institutional support constructs arecontinuously evolving through the VRC, and both the COE and BCTC will leverage VRCknowledge to create discipline specific efforts. Transitional strategies comprise veteranorientation workshops, faculty training workshops, and on-campus community buildingactivities. Integration strategies focus on the Engineering Cooperative Education Program andthe development of guidelines for evaluating Army/ACE Registry Transcript Service (AARTS)and Sailor/Marine/ACE Registry Transcript (SMART) transcripts.IntroductionAs of December 2010, deployment levels in Afghanistan were widely reported at approximately100,000 U.S
