The St. Bonaventure University community should not forget alumni, faculty and staff who have left campus, especially those serving the country overseas through the holidays.
ROTC plans to send five care packages to alumni serving in Iraq and Afghanistan with a program headed by ROTC cadet Jared Kausner. The program hopes to have campus-wide participation in filling these packages with small food items, gifts and letters.
Students and staff should support those in dangerous situations and utilize the ways to help proposed by the ROTC program.
The effort put in by ROTC to get the entire campus community involved is honorable. It potentially brings awareness and encouragement from all student, faculty and staff members.
Many students feel St. Bonaventure is a home away from home. Students should help out by making alumni serving abroad feel still connected with their home in difficult times of conlifct. A simple donation or letter of appreciation to the troops who've graduated from Bonaventure can go a long way and keep the past and present bonds at the university strong.
