Owens Veterans Services Receives Military Friendly Honor
PERRYSBURG TOWNSHIP, OH – Owens Community College has earned the distinction of being designated as a Military Friendly School by “G.I. Jobs”, a nationally-recognized magazine for military personnel transitioning into civilian life. The 2012 Military Friendly Schools listing honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools for exemplary efforts in embracing America’s military service members and veterans as students.
“Owens Community College’s Office of Veterans Services is extremely honored to be chosen as a Military Friendly School,” said Vickie Adams, Owens Director of Veterans Services. “The Office of Veterans Services takes great pride in helping veterans reach their educational and career goals. This honor is a direct reflection of those efforts.”
“G.I. Jobs” honored 1,518 colleges, universities and trade schools as Military Friendly Schools for their commitment to providing an array of services to military veterans, including scholarships, veterans’ clubs and staff support, among other resources. The 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools was compiled through extensive research and a data driven survey of more than 8,000 schools nationwide. Methodology, criteria and weighting for the list were developed with the assistance of an Academic Advisory Board consisting of educators from schools across the country.
