Today, we honor Oregon Army National Guard Veteran medic and Oregon State University student Angela Trillo. It isn’t always easy being a military veteran and a college student. Student veterans tend to be older; they often have different needs and face different expectations of their abilities. Angela is a first-generation college student and the daughter of a single dad who is also an Army veteran, and she has made it her mission to make higher education more accessible to Veterans. Her efforts recently earned Trillo, Oregon State University chapter president of the Student Veterans of America, the title of 2023 Student Veteran of the Year. Angela says she is passionate about changing the world, she graduates from OSU this month with a B.A. in Political Science and plans to pursue her graduate studies in Public Health Policy and Administration this fall. Thank you for wanting to lift up others Angela and THANK YOU for your service.
