Members of the military are often the most motivated students and bring leadership qualities and life experiences that are invaluable to the classroom. Suzane Bricker's excellent and insightful handbook provides a window into military culture and practical steps to help instructors integrate active-duty service members and veterans into the classroom, address their unique challenges, and support them in reaching their full academic potential. -- Javier Miyares, president, University of Maryland University College The Military Writers Society of America supports this project 100 percent and recommends this book to all undergraduate and graduate instructors. Suzane Bricker has successfully opened a channel of communication that can lead to better academic success for individuals who have served, and continue to serve our country with honor. Her guidebook combines the opinions of influential and concerned veteran advocates with insights from leading academic scholars. She is to be commended for her research into previously uncharted territory. -- Bill McDonald, Purple Heart Veteran, author, poet, international motivational speaker; founder, The Military Writer's Society of America; film consultant, minister, veteran advocate Having veterans in my classes is a privilege, a challenge, and, most of all, a responsibility. I have had to create my own training. I am thrilled to see, at last, such a thorough book to help all teachers and professors in this essential duty. -- Wick Sloane, administrator and adjunct professor of English, Bunker Hill Community College, Boston; Writes the column "The Devil's Workshop" for Inside Higher Ed There are clear differences between traditional students and those who have spent time in the military. Suzane Bricker's handbook does an excellent job of highlighting these differences. Her book clearly informs the educator on how to have an impact on military learners. -- Daniel Fanella, PhD, Instructional Systems Specialist, United States Army War College
