UAM Named To List Of “Military Friendly” Schools (8/28/09)

MONTICELLO, AR — The University of Arkansas at Monticello has been named to a list of Military Friendly Schools by G.I. Jobs magazine and will be listed in the September 2009 issue of the Guide to Military Friendly Schools.
            
The magazine cited UAM for its efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students. “On behalf of the 8 million military veterans and members seeking a school, I thank you for your commitment to educating our nation’s most deserving heroes,” said Rich McCormack, publisher of G.I. Jobs.
            
“We are honored to receive this designation,” said Chancellor Jack Lassiter. “We are committed to reaching out to veterans and members of the military. It’s the least we could do for the men and women who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedom.”
