This project explores how undergraduate student veterans deliberately integrate prior military experiences and/or knowledge in formal academic writing tasks beyond first-year composition (FYC). We investigate how the military (as an organizational culture) continues to influence the identities, the activation of prior knowledge, and the composing processes of student veterans and unveil any connections between these and personal or service-related demographics.



You are about to take a survey. The risks to participate are no greater than those experienced in everyday life. The benefit to you is reflection on your association with the military, your experiences as a college student, and/or student veteran. Your participation is completely voluntary and anonymous. There are no consequences for withdrawing participation. Any information you can provide is most appreciated by the research team and will benefit military personnel, faculty, staff, and advocates to facilitate a more successful repatriation process.



Estimated time needed to complete the survey is between 15-20 minutes. Thank you for your consideration and participation in our survey. If you have any questions or concerns about this survey or the research study, do not hesitate to contact Dr. Hinton at 903-223-3124, chinton@tamut.edu or Dr. Grohowski at 231-360-7240, mgrohow@gmail.com
