The work of Writing faculty Eileen Schell and Ivy Kleinbart, co-leaders of the Syracuse Veterans Writing Group, was highlighted in a recent feature story as part of the SU Humanities Center’s 2025-26 Syracuse Symposium on “Creativity.” Voices of Service: A Celebration of Veterans Writing and Weekend Workshop welcomed veterans of all ages and branches to embark on two days of collaborative, creative and communal development.

The public, 3-day event occurred over Veteran's Day Weekend and included a presentation of the Veterans’ Writing Award sponsored by Syracuse University Press and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families as well as a preview of public readings and activities scheduled at the NVRC throughout the weekend.

Congratulations to Eileen, Ivy, and all of the writers and participants.
