Turnabout: Student veterans get a chance to educate the faculty, see the article at: http://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/8835/programs-bridge-the-gap-between-student-vets-and-faculty/ If you are also a student veteran, it is important that your voice be heard on your campus.  You can join a student veterans club, or honors program, any team, or just speak to your instructors one-to-one during office hours or after class.  They need to hear real stories, not just newsbytes and questionable statistics.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a website full of information and resources, and here’s an interesting highlight about Muscular Dystrophy and one patient’s experience at: http://www.cdc.gov/Features/MuscularDystrophy/  Check out this site if you have questions about environmental hazards, emergency preparedness, healthy living, or current disease statistics.
