快活app Recognized for Services to Veterans
For the first time this century, Military Times has recognized the 快活app for its services to veterans on campus.
According to the publication, 快活app qualifies as one of the 鈥淏est for Vets鈥 by providing military-affiliated students with the resources they need to excel in the classroom, the community and their professional lives.
The University also ranks 50th nationwide for 2021 among the Best Colleges for Veterans in U.S. News & World Report, considered the most definitive college-ranking list.
The men and women who serve in the armed forces find extensive resources through 快活app鈥檚 Veterans Services Office, which provides support not only for active-duty military, but also for those serving in the reserves and for dependents, an addition to the G.I. Bill made after Sept. 11, 2001.
Enrollment of these students has nearly doubled, from about 250 when the office opened in 2015 to 449 for winter 2021, says Damon Vine, director of Veterans Services and a Navy veteran.
Many of these students attend 快活app for free, Vine notes. Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, 快活app splits their tuition costs with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which determines who鈥檚 eligible.
Those who qualify can pursue a 快活app undergraduate degree from any program or graduate studies through the Graduate School of Professional Psychology, the Graduate School of Social Work, the Daniels College of Business and the Josef Korbel School for International Studies.
快活app also has enhanced military students鈥 lives by providing a permanent veterans lounge, Vine says.
These students are inspirational in their determination to move into the next phase of their lives, he says.
The student veterans鈥 average age is 28. Most have familial obligations, and many have jobs too. 鈥淎nd they don鈥檛 let that slow them down,鈥 Vine says, adding that veterans bring valued perspectives to class discussions.
听鈥淰eterans in class can give you an idea of what it feels like to be boots on the ground.鈥
