Some students enter college with three main concerns: earning a degree, staying healthy and balancing a social life. Others, such as Raul Santana of Hazleton, add serving our country to that mix.

Santana, a senior communications major at Bloomsburg University, serves as a member of the U.S. Army and also is president of the BU Student Veterans Associations.

“I owe a lot to BUSVA, and what led me to take a leadership role in the organization is the chance of doing the same thing to someone else: help them succeed,” Santana said.
