绿帽淫妻 would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all service members, veterans and military families. Recently, Aquinas received silver-level ranking as a Veteran-Friendly school by the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) for meeting the following criteria:
- Established process for identification of current student veterans
Veteran-specific website- Veteran-specific career services, resources, advising and/or outcome monitoring
- System to evaluate and award credit based on prior military training and experience
- Monitoring and evaluation of student veteran academic retention, transfer and graduation rates
The transition from the military to Aquinas wasn鈥檛 difficult for military veteran Chris Calcagno. 鈥淎Q has a warm and supportive atmosphere,鈥� Chris says. 鈥淎nd there is someone to help you budget and fill out all the G.I. Bill forms. The classes are small, so you really get to know everyone. And there are other veterans.鈥�
He continues, 鈥淚f you just want a degree to get a job, you can do that anywhere; but Aquinas offers an education that will influence the way you see and think about the world. Aquinas doesn鈥檛 just help you get a job, it also helps you live.鈥�
Aquinas鈥� Veteran Certification Officer is available to sit down with you to help you understand and utilize the educational benefits you may be eligible to receive. Call 616-632-2892 and financialaid@aquinas.edu
