Abstract

This emergent research discusses the challenges of military veterans’ civil life integration, post-secondary education, and highlights the unique position of Information Systems (IS) discipline in addressing some of those challenges. This paper provides a literature review identifying and classifying a set of 32 core papers from the much wider literature. The classification is at two levels consisting of 12 themes embedded in 4 larger contexts. This research forms the basis for our further research and facilitates other researchers in exploring how IS curriculum, IS faculty engagement with veterans, and IS department interaction with university administration have an opportunity to more effectively address the beforementioned challenges.
