| February 2004 Students Learn From Military Vets
Volunteers with the Stanford-based United Students for Veterans Health (www.usvh.org) spend their time getting to know veterans in local VA hospitals. Spearheaded by Andre D. Vanier (JD/MBA '04), a group of Business School students offered to produce a book reflecting on the value of their intergenerational experiences if the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs would cover the cost of production and distribution. Living Memories: Reflections of Students Volunteering in VA Hospitals is the 54-page resulta collection of 12 essays and 26 black-and-white photos that bears the handprints of several MBA '03 alums: Clinton Chan served as the project's sole photographer, Lisa Rutherford designed the book, and Kristin Lundquist designed the cover. Vanier served on the editorial board. Working with elderly veterans "gave me a profound appreciation of the importance of giving back," Vanier says. "With this book, we wanted to tell other young people across the country what a meaningful experience volunteering can be." For ordering information contact: livingmemories@usvh.org. |
