Now that it’s June, temps are climbing, UV is rising, and summer skincare myths are everywhere.

This summer, Danu Regalado will bike nearly 4,000 miles across the country—but for him, the journey is about much more than endurance.

As part of The Ability Experience’s Journey of Hope, the electrical engineering major is riding to promote empathy, inclusion, and understanding for people with disabilities. Inspired by his own experiences growing up with ADHD and alongside a cousin with autism, he hopes to challenge stigmas and encourage more kindness in every community he visits.

“We weren’t any less capable,” he says. “We just had skills in different areas.”

On Memorial Day, and every day, we honor the sacrifice of service members who gave their lives for our country.

This year, we asked three campus veterans, Carey Tucker, Dr. Steve Wilson, and Dr. Dean Cantu, to share how the holiday, and their military careers, influence their lives today.
