Dennis F. Kulis has been appointed senior communications designer and publications coordinator at the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University (IVMF).

Kulis will also oversee the work of junior designers and freelancers and act as primary coordinator of all printed collateral while working with the University’s publications office and on- and off-campus print vendors.
“We are thrilled to bring Dennis on as a full-time member of our team,” says Dan Savage, IVMF chief of staff. “We have worked with Dennis on a part-time basis for the last several months and his presence was immediately felt as a significant gain for our organization. His work ethic, dedication and attention to detail have contributed immeasurably to the production of several high-profile publications on a tight timetable, which we were then able to share with our most senior stakeholders. We are eager to see his work continue with the IVMF in the future.”
