Lebanon Valley College is currently buzzing with topics of veterans and war, from Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery\u2019s latest art installation titled \u201cWitness To War,\u201d to veterans from the Lebanon VA hosting their own video event to be held at the gallery.<\/p>\n

New to the calendar is another educational event dedicated to art, writing and wellness. Frederick Foote is a retired U.S.\u00a0Navy physician\u00a0and\u00a0an author. Foote\u00a0will appear on campus for a lecture and writing workshop on Thursday,\u00a0Nov. 15, in Zimmerman Recital Hall of the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrederick Foote leads the Epidaurus Project which aims to integrate whole-person care in hospitals and clinics throughout the U.S. Military Health System,\u201d\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Barbara McNulty, director of Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery and assistant professor of art history, said.<\/p>\n

Foote\u2019s lecture will focus on the healing and coping process of life\u2019s harsh realities and how writing and art can have a large role in the positive ways in which we heal.\u00a0Following the lecture, Foote, will host an interactive writing workshop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis workshop highlights the integral role that the arts and humanities play in wellness and well-being,\u201d Holly Wendt, assistant professor of English and director of creative writing, said. \u201cThis workshop is an opportunity to see creative practice in action and engage in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event is free and open to the public, however sign-ups are necessary as there will be a lunch provided between the lecture and workshop.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most important things a writer can do is to keep learning and keep trying new things,\u201d Wendt said. \u201cIt\u2019s very easy to get stuck in one\u2019s habits or comfort zones, so I am excited to be a participant and\u00a0take part in writing\u00a0away from my own desk and classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am looking forward to learning how he structures the workshop as a teaching tool,\u201d McNulty said.<\/p>\n

Foote\u2019s journey as a retired physician is a unique one that reminds writers how their ambitions of writing are not always recognized early on in life, but instead cued\u00a0by a distinct event, lifestyle\u00a0and realization.<\/p>\n

This opportunity is\u00a0geared toward\u00a0a variety of majors,\u00a0including\u00a0art, creative writing and\u00a0English, as well as history. Join Frederick Foote and fellow students to learn more about the power of the arts and\u00a0healing<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
