Raider Salute for help with Middle School Conference

Posted on by

Sara Brooks, Urban Enrollment and Dual Enrollment coordinator, has a Raider Salute:

I’d like to send a Raider Salute to Chef Luba and the ATC Catering Services, Bayard Brooks, Eric Mullen, Sandy Gregory, Angela Salinas, Francisco Ramieriz, Domingo Hernandez, Sarah Laylock, Erika Bailey, Chris Sain, Ennis Young and Raynard Ross for their assistance and flexibility in helping to make the Middle School Conference a HUGE success. The public schools were pleased and the students gained beneficial information about: why college is important, their options and what they should do now to get to college. We hosted roughly 80 students and it couldn’t have been done with out all those people named.

Military Athlete Golfs For Local Cause

May 7, 2013; masslive.com (Massachusetts)

AGAWAM — During charity golf tournaments, it’s a good bet that a former athlete or two will be among the participants. These players haven’t heard the roar of the crowd during their play on the field.

However, one local charity tournament held at Crestview Country Club on Thursday, benefitting the Children’s Study Home of Springfield, there was a current athlete in the midst of the players on the pristine semi-private course. His name is probably not one you’ll find in the box scores, or on an Upper Deck trading card, but one who embodies the ethos of sacrifice, teamwork, and humility.

Who is this player? His name is Saul Bosquez, and he’s the third baseman for the Wounded Warrior Softball team. The team has become something of a national fan favorite.

… Before joining the military, Bosquez played baseball at the collegiate level in his home state of Michigan. He was a catcher and third basemen at Grand Rapids Community College and at Eastern Michigan before deployment.
