BRADFORD, PA – For
the fifth year in a row, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford has been
named a Military Friendly School by Victory Media.
The 2014 Military
Friendly Schools list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and
trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America’s
military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their
success on campus.
“Inclusion on the
2014 list of Military Friendly Schools shows Pitt-Bradford’s commitment to
providing a supportive environment for military students,” said Sean Collins,
vice president at Victory Media and a nine-year Navy veteran. “The need for
education is growing, and our mission is to provide the military community with
transparent, world-class resources to assist in their search for schools.
James Baldwin,
assistant dean of academic affairs and director of enrollment services at
Pitt-Bradford, said, “The Military Friendly School designation is a reflection
of the hard work and dedication made by so many different offices and people at
Pitt-Bradford who actively help returning veterans and their dependents to be
successful in their pursuit of higher education.”
Melissa Ibañez,
director of financial aid and Veterans Affairs certifying official, said, “We
are very proud of this designation and continue to look for ways to help our
veterans succeed.”
The Military Friendly
Schools website, found at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com,
features the list, interactive tools and search functionality to help military
students find the best school to suit their unique needs and preferences. The
colleges, universities and trade schools on this year’s list exhibit leading
practices in the recruitment and retention of students with military
experience.
