Frostburg State University has once again received the 军事友好® School designation marking the 13th straight year earning this honor. “Congratulations to our 退伍军人服务 staff,” said FSU president, Dr. 罗纳德·Nowaczyk. “This continues to be an important recognition for FSU.”
The 军事友好® Schools list honors colleges, universities and trade schools across the country that go above and beyond to embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus.
Institutions earning the 军事友好® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. 多于1,800 schools participated in the 2024-2025 survey, and FSU was among 537 earning the 军事友好® appointment for going above the standard.
“FSU has worked very hard to be military-friendly and serving students who served,克拉丽莎·朗说, FSU Director of 退伍军人服务. “Our students have the support they need by having their own veterans center on campus where they can study, meet with other students, receive counseling services and so much more. We are proud of our veteran community and will continue improving our services to help them."
方法, criteria and weightings were determined by Viqtory, which serves military personnel and their spouses transitioning into civilian life, with input from the 军事友好® Advisory Council of independent leaders in higher education. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for retention, 毕业, 就业安置, 偿还贷款, 持久性, and loan default rates for all students and specifically, 退伍军人学生.
“军事友好® is committed to transparency and providing consistent data-driven standards in our designation process,Kayla Lopez说, National Director of Military Partnerships, 军事友好®. “Our standards provide a benchmark that promotes positive outcomes and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the Military community. This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages institutions to evolve and invest in their programs consistently.洛佩兹继续说道。, “Schools who achieve awards designation show true commitment in their efforts, going over and above that standard.”
The 2024-2025 军事友好® Schools list will be published in the May and October issues of G.I. 工作的杂志.
FSU is home to a Veterans Center that proudly welcomes student veterans and dependents of veterans and ensures that they receive the academic benefits, resources and representation that they have earned. 另外, members of the Student Veterans Association often perform community and alumni outreach activities through fundraisers and programs.
Frostburg State is also home to a chapter of SALUTE, the first national higher education honor society 退伍军人学生 and military service members. SALUTE members are recognized at ceremonies biannually.
