Director’s Manual - United students for veterans' health

For clarity, we’ve separated these into three approaches. In reality, organizations often combine these options. In some cases, they will cast a very broad net, (sometimes called a “360-degree assessment”). They may review only the organization and interpret the results as a reflection of the director, or they may use the combined approach to review the executive director.

Countless program directors have stated that one of their best experiences in college was with USVH. USVH has been an unparalled opportunity in my own life to meet veterans and other students from whom I have learned enormously. Volunteering in a
