The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is among the
best education institutions in the nation for military and veteran education,
according to Military Advanced Education’s 2015 Guide to Colleges and
Universities.
The guide evaluated more than 600 institutions from
community colleges to state universities, evaluating the military culture,
financial aid, flexibility, on-campus support and online support services. A
dashboard guide of best practices in military education at each school is
published in the December issue of Military Advanced Education as well as
online at www.mae-kmi.com.
UW-Stevens Point was also recently recognized as a 2015
Military Friendly School® by G.I. Jobs for the fifth year in a row.
Approximately 300 veterans, National Guard members,
reservists and military dependents are enrolled at UW-Stevens Point, said Ann
Whipp, coordinator of Veterans Services. UW-Stevens Point’s faculty, staff and
students demonstrate openness, care and concern for veterans’ academic and
emotional health, helping them readjust to the civilian community and academic
pursuits, she said.
“Being a ‘military friendly’
university is not only supportive of veterans, but it improves and enriches the
campus community with increased knowledge and understanding for all,” Whipp
said.
