Artist-Scholars.” Chris Parr, a former Army Reserve mental health

and read a selected portion of the script for a film now in production;
and Carlye Schweske, a doctoral student in communication and
performance studies, who will share performance pieces emerging from her
research on the experiences of student-veterans at SIU.
