<p>Our week of podcasts focused on student Veterans is coming to a close. On Monday, we spoke with <a href="https://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/55380/jared-lyon-interview-natcon2019/"> Student Veterans of America president Jared Lyon</a>. Then, Tuesday through Thursday we had a conversation with <a href="https://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/category/borne-the-battle/">three groups of Student Veteran of the Year finalists</a>. Today, we feature the 2018 Student Veteran of the Year, Alexandria Sawin. Alex is the president of the UNLV Rebel Veterans Organization at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She speaks with us about her service in the Air Force, becoming a leader in her community, organizing a ruck march across the state of Nevada, and her best practices in her student Veteran chapter.</p>

Borne the Battle recognizes each battle, challenge, and sacrifice our Veterans endure during and after their service, as well as spotlighting important resources, offices, and benefits VA offers our Veterans.
