Educators are encouraged to engage military veterans enrolling in college in the use of expressive writing and related assignments as curriculum interventions to assist these student veterans in their transition from military to civilian life. This article describes semester‐long studies conducted in 2015, 2016, and 2017 in college classrooms consisting of student veterans enrolled in a unique for‐credit freshman‐level English composition and reading course.
