Hello, student Veterans! I hope your easing through the end of this school year. I am emailing because I am looking for volunteers who may be interested in being interviewed about your military service. I am teaching an undergraduate course at DU this quarter entitled, "[Re]making the U.S. Military Family" and as part of their coursework, each student is required to conduct one interview with a current service member, Veteran, or military family member. Basically, the purpose of the interview is for the student to practice mindful and engaged communication while interacting with a Veteran, with the overarching purpose being to help break down the military/civilian divide in US culture and to provide the Service member/Vet/Mil family member a place to share their story and their experiences. The interview is not for research purposes, would be informal, and would remain confidential if you choose. You qualify if you are a current Service member, a Veteran (any status), or a military family member.

If you are interested, please email Jeni Hunniecutt at [email protected] by Friday, 5/12 at 10am with the following information:

Name
Branch of service and job
Role at DU (undergrad/grad student and what program)

Thank you for your willingness to continuously work to strengthen the military community at DU.

Best,

Jeni
