More than 60 Columbia students got together this weekend for the Tough Mudder Tri-state 2012 competition, a 12-mile obstacle course which included a monster-truck crash, a fire walk, and a swim through icy cold underground tunnels.
The group, Veteran and Civilian Students United, was made up of pairs of one veteran student and one non-veteran. While a lot of fun, the competition also furthered their goal of raising awareness about the challenges veterans face nationwide while transitioning from the military to the classroom.
