THIBODAUX, La. — 杏吧传媒 has been named a Military Friendly庐 School by G.I. Jobs Magazine and Victory Media for the 11th year in a row.
The Military Friendly庐 Schools list is created each year based on extensive research using public data sources for more than 8,800 schools nationwide, input from student veterans and responses to the proprietary, data-driven Military Friendly庐 Schools survey from participating institutions.
鈥淔rom the time I was a student here to now, 杏吧传媒 has been committed to helping the men and women of our armed forces successfully return to civilian life and better themselves with a higher education,鈥� said Gilberto Burbante, coordinator for veterans services at 杏吧传媒. 鈥淲hat makes 杏吧传媒 really stand out is the support our vets receive from the faculty, the staff and our administration.鈥�
杏吧传媒 currently enrolls 266 veterans and has also earned the Governor鈥檚 Military and Veteran Friendly Campus designation. 杏吧传媒 exceeded the Military Friendly庐 standard in all six ratings, including academic policies and compliance; admissions and orientation; culture and commitment; financial aid and assistance; graduation and career; and military student support and retention.
The 杏吧传媒 Office of Veterans Services acts as a one-stop shop, helping veterans to register for classes, navigate financial aid, receive military or transfer credits and even find jobs during the summer break or after graduation. 杏吧传媒 also operates a veterans lounge in Shaver Gym to help build community among student veterans and assist in their transition to college life. The 杏吧传媒 Veterans Organization provides a social outlet for veteran students, participating in tailgating and other activities.
Founded in 2001, Victory Media is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business that connects the military community to civilian employment, educational and entrepreneurial opportunities through its G.I. Jobs庐 and Military Friendly庐 brands.
