The CVTI Summer Seminar Series brings students, staff, faculty, and community members together for conversations exploring the nation's military and veteran experience. Through literature, film, memoir, history, and discussion, the series creates space to critically examine how the military and military conflict shape individuals, institutions, and public life.
Designed to foster reflection, dialogue, and community engagement, the seminars encourage participants to connect historical and contemporary issues while considering the role universities play in civic responsibility. The series emphasizes thoughtful inquiry, empathy, and the importance of engaging complex topics through multiple perspectives.
