Magazine Names Tacoma Community College a Military Friendly School

Tacoma Community College was named a “Military Friendly School” by G.I. Jobs Magazine for the third year in a row. The annual list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s service members and veterans as students.

Schools awarded the “military friendly” designation prioritize the recruitment of students with military experience. Institutions may also offer scholarships, discounts, veteran’s clubs, full-time staff, military credit and other services to assist student veterans.

This year, the magazine incorporated a survey of student veterans into its institution review process. Peer reviews from current students give insight on the student veteran experience at particular institutions to prospective student veterans. This feedback can be viewed atwww.militaryfriendlyschools.com/2012 list.

Service members and veterans can also meet individual student veterans from the various schools virtually on the site to learn more about personal school decisions and the transition from the military to an academic environment.
