Home Town Heroes: Veteran Dedicates Degree to Faith and Family
Keiser University Port St. Lucie Campus graduate Bruce Sanders serves as an inspiration to family members and classmates as he earns his Associate of Science degree in Internet Technology.
A US Army Veteran, Sanders, 67, is battling cancer and credits his faith and loving circle of relatives and Keiser University faculty and staff members for reaching the goal.
While sharing that he believes ‘education is key’ and that one is ‘never too old to learn,’ Sanders thanked God for reaching the milestone and reflected on the role that his wife Venita, son Erlin, and great niece Shatoia and others played in the accomplishment. “I want to inspire kids to never give up,” said Sanders. “Life itself can be a struggle, and without education, it’s even harder,” he said while adding that he’s grateful to set an example for generations to come – including his grandchildren.
