The Chameleon is a student-run literary and arts magazine that has been published since 1962, making it the longest running literary magazine in Norwich University history. Each issue of The Chameleon features creative writing and visual art made by Norwich students, showcasing the creativity of the Norwich campus.

The 2026 issue features a wide array of creative writing, especially many wonderful poems and stories. We also highlight strong art and photography. This year, we also have published videos and podcasts for the first time in our history!

The 2026 issue features an interview with Architecture professor Zach Seibold. Seibold talks about how architecture students designed and fabricated plaster panels using a robotic arm. The issue also highlights interviews with many of the distinguished speakers from the Military Writers’ Symposium. The issue also highlights great creative writing in Spanish from Dr. Thomas’ amazing students. Dr. Gray’s history students researched samurai armor held in the Sullivan Museum and then wrote short stories about the armor’s history.

 

The Chameleon can be found online and in print — email Professor Sean Prentiss to purchase a copy of the 2026 print issue.
