What is the syntax for adding a column where you are adding a year to a date in a date format? For example adding a column displaying a year after the participation date in date format? Can someone help me with this?

Not sure what you are looking for:
Is it:
[CODE]

-- add an year
SELECT dateadd(YY, 1, getdate()) AS DATE_ADDYEAR, getdate();

-- get year part:
SELECT DATEPART(YY, getdate()) AS YEAR_PART , getdate();

[/CODE]
If this is not what you want, please show some example data.

do you mean this?

ALTER TABLE TableName ADD NewColumnName AS DATEADD(yy,1,ParticipationDate)

this will add a new column to table with value as 1 year ahead of ParticipationDate field
