It’s a bright, sunny morning in central Phoenix for Alicia Gonzales, a 2005 alumna of Arizona State University's School of Community Resources and Development. Inside the Foundation for Senior Living’s (FSL) center, she watches as eight veterans and seven ASU students sit in pairs around tables arranged in a horseshoe shape. Individual arts and crafts projects are in front of each veteran.

ASU's School of Community Resources & Development is helping Valley veterans like 61-year-old Mike Worra feel like themselves again.
