Growing connections and staying involved is a big perk for many students!

Over the last month, The Student Veterans here on campus came together to help a fellow veteran and his family in need. On February 24th, a fire destroyed this veteran's family home, which is currently under construction. The camper the family members were living in, and the shed with a large collection of collectables and materials for continuing the remodel, were lost. Luckily, no lives were lost in this fire. But it has been a rough month. Throughout the month, not only has this veteran given his time on weekends and evenings to help his family, but several others have as well.

The family is greatly thankful for the veterans' help in getting the fire cleaned up and moved outta the way, while they run to the dump, bag trash, and sort through metal that can be recycled.

Coming together for another member is a vital key for this group. They often give each other any and all help they can.
