MSU named Military Friendly School for 2021-22

Morehead State University has been named a Bronze-level Military Friendly School® for 2021-22, an honor MSU has now received for three consecutive years.  

Viqtory Media, originator of the family of Military Friendly employment, entrepreneurship and education resources for veterans and their families, published the 2021-22 Military Friendly Schools and Employers ratings at www.militaryfriendly.com and in the upcoming May issue of G.I. Jobs magazine.     

For more than a decade, Military Friendly ratings have set the standard for companies and colleges demonstrating positive employment and education outcomes for veterans and their families.    

“Receiving the Military Friendly School distinction highlights our commitment to the holistic success of military-related students in every facet of our university,” said Dr. Silas Session, director of military initiatives. “Attaining this honor year after year points to leaders at all levels passion and persistence to proactively improve systems and processes that affect the Eagle Vet and military dependent community along with all students.”    

Military Friendly® Schools strive toward and succeed in the areas that matter most in helping veterans transition from the military to school and, ultimately, satisfying careers in the civilian world.
