Service Dog for Student Veteran at SRU
Every year, the Slippery Rock University community gathers to celebrate Veterans Day. The day begins with breakfast, followed by the official service at the Veterans Memorial in front of Russell Wright Alumni House.
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the SRU community, we will also be officially meeting Justice - the first service animal provided to a Slippery Rock University student veteran through the SRU Chapter of the Student Veterans of America (SVA).
It's more than just the 'Oh, we're going to set you up to get a service animal.' It's the service animal, pay for lodging, travel expenses, food and medical expenses for the service animal for the first year. There's just so many things that are going way above and beyond anyone else. It's simply amazing. - Mike Ditto SRU Student veteran and recipient of the 2017 SRU SVA service dog.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the first phase of the Service Dog for Student Veterans at SRU project, and a very special thank you to our partners - Dogs for Warriors, the American Warrior Initiative, and the Student Veterans of America - we couldn't have done it without you.
