This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Colgate chapter.

This past Thursday, CEO of The Mission Continues and former Navy SEAL, Eric Greitans, visited Colgate and spoke with an audience of students and professors in Love Auditorium. He spoke on his experiences traveling, training, and now working with veterans. For those of you who missed his talk, check out his website http://www.ericgreitens.com/  and http://www.missioncontinues.org/?gclid=CMi0is2do68CFWUQNAodCHfaXgfor more information on his current project “The Mission Continues”, a nonprofit organization that challenges and helps veterans to continue serving once home through community service and other ways of giving back to the community. Mr. Greitans has also authored two books “The Heart and the Fist” and “Strength and Compassion”. 
I think all the people in attendance can agree that his talk was one of the, if not the most, inspirational talks we’ve attended. The articulate, level-headed, and not to mention good-looking, Mr. Greitans provided students with valuable insight into ways to persevere and continue doing good for others.
His visit was sponsored by many Colgate clubs and organizations, including the Shapna Project.
