 Central Lakes College has again been named to the 2017 Military-Friendly School List by Victory Media. Military-friendly schools are the most powerful resources for veterans today. Each year, the list of schools is provided to service members and their families to help them select the best college, university, or trade school to receive an education. More than 1,700 schools participated in this year's survey, and 1,273 schools were awarded with the designation. We have 182 veterans that are currently active as students, but our Veterans Resource Center also works with their families, also works with veterans from multiple generations who come and congregate here and take advantage of the resources we have available. I think one of the reasons that Central Lakes College was awarded this is we have a dedicated advisor to our veteran students. We provide them a number of perks like early registration, really one-on-one support, and a lot of other supplemental services like tutoring that they might not get at every institution. Central Lakes will be showcased in the annual Guide to Military-Friendly Schools special education issues of GI Jobs and online on militaryfriendly.com.
