Wayne Community College has been named a "Military Friendly(r) School" for the fifth year.
The list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace military students, and to dedicate resources to ensure their success in the classroom and after graduation.
Approximately 1,600 colleges, universities and trade schools on this year's list exhibit leading practices in the recruitment and retention of students with military experience. The full list can be found at www.militaryfriendly.com.
This semester, WCC is serving 430 military members, veterans and dependents in college-credit courses on its campus in Goldsboro and at the Watkins-Das Education Center on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. That number represents around 12 percent of the curriculum student body. This is the sixth year for the Military Friendly(r) Schools list, created by Victory Media from the analysis of responses to survey questions that represent best practices to successfully attract and support military students.
