This blog is dedicated to helping veterans, active duty service members and future service members succeed in academia. While we initially organized out of"Writing with Current, Former, and Future Members of the Military" Special Interest Group at the 2011Conference on College Composition and Communication, we welcome instructors and allies in all disciplines. This is an open group, and all are welcome.
"Many people put veterans in a box, labeling them with terms that do not fit; "they've got issues", "uptight", "a little off", it's not fair and I wish people would take the time to see past these stereotypes, and peal the labels off. Most of the veterans I know are highly motivated, smart, dedicated men and women that are much more focused on school and real life issues. I wish you the best in learning how to teach and write with veterans. We need professors like you, who are willing to challenge and encourage us as regular college students just like everyone else"
