• The class of 2022 nuclear medicine students have created a service learning project called "Backing the Brave,"  in which they collect cold weather gear for the Veterans Leadership Program, which houses over 4,000 veterans annually. The 13 students set up a GoFundMe page and raised over $400 so far that were used to purchase backpacks, hand warmers, blankets, gloves, socks, coats, scarves, and hats. Many of the students have family members and friends that are veterans. One classmates, J. Patrick Hunter, wanted to make sure that his fellow veterans who did not make a smooth transition from the military to civilian life would be taken care of and their burden lessened.
