Institutions of higher education are experiencing the largest influx of enrolled veterans since World War II, and these student veterans are transforming post-secondary classroom dynamics. While many campus divisions like admissions and student services are actively moving to accommodate the rise in this demographic, little research about this population and their educational needs is available, and academic departments have been slower to adjust. In Generation Vet, fifteen chapters offer well-researched, pedagogically savvy recommendations for curricular and programmatic responses to student veterans for English and writing studies departments. In work with veterans in writing-intensive courses and community contexts, questions of citizenship, disability, activism, community-campus relationships, and retention come to the fore. Moreover, writing-intensive courses can be sites of significant cultural exchanges—even clashes—as veterans bring military values, rhetorical traditions, and communication styles that may challenge the values, beliefs, and assumptions of traditional college students and faculty. This classroom-oriented text addresses a wide range of issues concerning veterans, pedagogy, rhetoric, and writing program administration. Written by diverse scholar-teachers and written in diverse genres, the essays in this collection promise to enhance our understanding of student veterans, composition pedagogy and administration, and the post-9/11 university.
The mythos of being a veterinarian is that you love all pets, and are so compassionate and empathetic that you would never let any animal suffer, and that you are endlessly available for pets and clients (at no personal cost). And, when the day is over, the mythos also says that a veterinarian then goes home, leaves work at work, and has a great personal life. They are an amazing parent, spouse, friend, son, or daughter. In short, the mythos is that we are supposed to easily juggle the roles of life and never skip a beat. I am pulling that myth out of the dark and into the light, where we can all see its dysfunction. It is an impossible standard and an unrealistic expectation, and many veterinarians are drowning in it! I know I was drowning. Trying to be everything to everyone, and never taking a moment to recognize what it was doing to me. The reality? Each day dawns to a schedule jammed full of appointments, emotional decisions, high-stakes moments, responsibilities to coworkers and business decisions (which somehow are never supposed to be emotionally absorbed or impact you personally). In this book, I offer friendly, hands-on, simple, and practical advice about how to recognize your power and then to harness it to build confidence and gain control of your life and career. This book is meant to prompt conversation about things we take for granted, to help build skills, and to offer perspective on stress management and the soft skills necessary to manage your day.

When she finally meets Fluffy, he is not what she expected. Then disaster strikes! Will Lisette the Vet save the day? Book includes an animal facts page.
