Veterans Upward Bound disseminates information on opportunities available for veterans, empowers veterans to share their stories, and creates spaces for both veterans and civilian to learn more about veteran topics. Some of these methods are through print and podcasting. Explore Veterans Upward Bound’s past publications and the stories of our veterans below!
The Briefing
The Briefing is the quarterly newsletter from Veterans Upward Bound. For a paper copy or to get on the mail list, contact the Outreach Coordinator.
Veterans Voices Literary Magazine
Veterans Voices is a literary magazine dedicated to publishing veteran content. This was a collaboration between Veterans Upward Bound and the OTC Veteran and Military Services Office in 2019 with hard copies published and distributed.
This magazine is full of many topics and stages of life, from childhood memories, to enlistment days, to battle stories, to transition stories – a whole new kind of battle. It includes interests, hobbies, passions, and some of the things that inspire our veterans every day.
We hope that this magazine is a strong platform for our veterans’ voices to be heard and inspires other veterans and military service members to share their own voices.
Content in this document depicts positive and negative experiences, including PTSD, suicidal ideation, or problems with transitions. If you need any resources or confidential crisis help, call 988 and press 1.
Interested in submitting content for the next publication? Veterans Voices accepts artwork, poetry, stories, songs, and photography. Contact the Academic Coordinator for more information.
