รศรรสำฦต Ranks Well on Military Times Survey
June 21, 2021
The Military Times Best for Vets: Colleges rankings for 2021 have been released and the Veterans and Military Resource Center (VMRC) at รศรรสำฦต placed 17th in the central region.
From 2014 through 2019, รศรรสำฦต finished atop the annual rankings for two-year colleges. The survey now ranks all school levels in one survey according to region, type (public, private not-for-profit, private for-profit) and general education and career and technical categories.
รศรรสำฦตโs VMRC still tops Nebraska community colleges but finished behind the University of Nebraska-Omaha and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. รศรรสำฦต is also the top community college in the central region. Among public general education institutions in the central region, รศรรสำฦต placed 15th.
โWe are very happy to receive the designation of a Best for Vets school again this year,โ said Barry Horner, director of veteran and military services. โEven with new criteria, รศรรสำฦต stood a great chance to achieve a respectable result. As it turned out, รศรรสำฦต earned a better-than-expected ranking among other larger institutions. The VMRC is just a small part of all the รศรรสำฦต staff and faculty who support veterans and their families.โ
รศรรสำฦต established the VMRC in 2011 at the Columbus, Grand Island and Hastings campuses. A fourth VMRC was opened at the Kearney Center in 2017. Each VMRC assists veterans with benefits and academic advising, assistance for disabled vets and mental health counseling. A tuition waiver program provides 100-percent tuition for spouses and children of eligible veterans paid by the college, and the รศรรสำฦต Foundation provides veteran-specific scholarships.
โรศรรสำฦต has hired many quality veterans and family members who provide superior support to our veteran students each day,โ said รศรรสำฦต President Matt Gotschall. โIt is rewarding to be nationally recognized for this effort and positive impact on students.โ
