word about the group by hosting its first Veterans Day Ceremony. The event will include a raising of the flag, veteran speeches, taps and a flag presentation on the Student Center patio at 11 a.m. Nov. 11.
According to president Justin Sorenson, the group wants to increase awareness of veterans on campus.
“I just want the campus to really be aware that there are a lot of veterans here and we are an asset to [the] campus community,” the junior manufacturing engineering technology major said. “We provide a different perspective on life and the way that we approach things.”
Sorenson said the group is looking to grow and provide support for veterans, whether they are students, faculty or staff.
“The more voices we have here at the university, the better we will be able to make change,” Sorenson said.
Vice President Catherine Dorgan served as a medical laboratory technician in active duty from 2008 to 2012.
“Through the camaraderie and responsibility, I learned to live for something bigger than myself,” Dorgan, a senior nursing major said. “When I graduate in nursing, I hope to take that with me and make a difference in the life of every patient I meet.”
For more information, veterans should contact Sorenson at jsorenson@mail.bradley.edu.
Look for a special Veterans Day feature on The Scout’s website Nov. 11.
