HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. – Hopkinsville Community College has been designated a 2015 Military Friendly® School by Victory Media. This is the sixth consecutive year that the College has been honored with this designation.
“HCC is dedicated to serving the military students and families,” said HCC President Jay Allen. “Over 40 percent of the College’s enrollment is tied to the military, so we have extensive experience with the specific needs of this population. Our military students consist of active duty, veterans and family members. HCC has dedicated staff members in Veteran’s Affairs at both the Hopkinsville and Fort Campbell campuses to assist our military students.”
The Military Friendly® Schools designation is awarded to the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students, and to dedicate resources to ensure their success in the classroom and after graduation. The methodology used for making the Military Friendly® Schools list has changed the student veteran landscape to one much more transparent, and has played a significant role over the past six years in capturing and advancing best practices to support military students across the country.
The survey captures over 50 leading practices in supporting military students and is available free of charge to the more than 8,000 schools approved for Post-9/11 GI Bill funding.
