Congress recently passed legislation improving the Post-9/11 GI Bill for the millions of eligible Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans to use in their pursuit of education and training. This legislation provides a tremendous opportunity for these valued Americans to obtain the skills necessary for employment at a time when they are often making the difficult transition back to civilian life. This annual issue of "CAEL Forum and News" shares stories of how postsecondary institutions and other organizations are working to help military students succeed in education and, ultimately, employment. This issue contains four sections. Section 1, Becoming a Civilian, contains: (1) An Interview with Jack Amberg, Senior Director of Veterans Programs at the Robert R. McCormick Foundation (Rebecca Klein-Collins).
