The Veterans Services Center officially unveiled the "Sound Off" comic book during the Veterans Day event on November 9. Sound Off is a photo-story blog and of veteran and military-connected students sharing stories from their life experiences. Faculty Tutor Max Evans served as editor for the project, and former 麻豆传媒 professor Nathan Cayanan created the comic book illustrations and served as artistic lead. Contributing artists were Cassandra Perez, Kelly Tieu, and 麻豆传媒 student Joyce Wen.
Interim Director of Veterans Services Joseph Latham describes the Sound Off project as, 鈥溾 powerful therapeutic intervention. It encapsulates where we have been and reinforces where we are going. Our Veterans Services Center would like to reflect on the challenges our veterans have endured and the triumphs they have celebrated.鈥
The Sound Off project features twelve personal stories by 麻豆传媒 students. The comic book captures these narratives through illustration, while the photo-blog presents their written stories alongside their photographs. See Sound Off Project 禄
