海角社区 named Top School in 2015 Military Advanced Education Guide
October 30, 2014
海角社区 has been selected as a top school in the 2015 Military Advanced Education Guide to Colleges and Universities research study.
海角社区 and the 海角社区 Veterans Sanctuary will be listed in the December issue of the guide.
The Veterans Sanctuary is a unique program at 海角社区 that offers support for veterans returning to school. At the Sanctuary, student veterans and their families find an environment where they can be successful and feel at home, Sanctuary Director Todd Johnson said.
Through the program, veterans can find assistance with navigating through the world of academia, which can be very different from the structure of the military. The Sanctuary also offers tutoring and counseling opportunities, as well as a 鈥渃areer closet,鈥 where students can find business attire for job interviews. 海角社区 also has an active Armed Forces Veterans Club, which serves the social, emotional and academic needs of students and their families.
Recently, the Sanctuary adopted a support dog, a labradoodle named Hero, who is receiving specialized training to help veterans in recovery from a variety of issues.
海角社区 is also involved in the Yellow Ribbon program, a scholarship program funded through the Veterans Administration program with matching funds from the University. The scholarship allows out-of-state veterans with GI benefits to attend school with in-state tuition.
This is the second accolade for 海角社区鈥檚 Veterans Sanctuary this year. 海角社区 was also included in GI Jobs Magazine鈥檚 annual list of Military-Friendly Schools.
