深夜福利在线免费看 Named to List of '2013 Military Friendly Schools'

VALDOSTA -- 深夜福利在线免费看 has been designated a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs magazine, an honor it has received for several consecutive years. The national recognition ranks 深夜福利在线免费看 among the “top 15 percent of all colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide for its service to military members, veterans, and spouses as students to ensure their success in completing a college degree.”

In 2010, 深夜福利在线免费看 established the Adult Academic Degree Completion and Professional Development Programs. Using the acronym AMP (Adult and Military Programs) the department was developed to help improve degree completion for adult learners, with particular attention to members of the military and veterans.

Dr. Jerry Merwin, director of AMP, says the focus of the department is to recruit more adult learners, assist with the admissions process, and provide support until degree completion.

“We are carrying on a tradition that has been part of the 深夜福利在线免费看 mission for a long time, in helping meet the educational needs of active duty service members and veterans of the military branches,” said Merwin. “We have permanent, fulltime 深夜福利在线免费看 staff members working at both Moody Air Force Base and Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, and we offer undergraduate and graduate programs at both locations. 深夜福利在线免费看 has offered courses at Kings Bay for more than 30 years.”

As part of its outreach to active duty military and veterans, 深夜福利在线免费看 now offers undergraduate online degrees in organizational leadership, office administration and technology, criminal justice, and legal assistant studies. These programs offer flexibility and accessibility for working adults who want to earn a bachelor’s degree.

“Many veterans decide to stay in South Georgia when they retire from the military,” Merwin said. “We work with active duty service members, dependents, civilian employees, and veterans at 深夜福利在线免费看’s main campus, at the Albany Marine Corps Logistic Facility, at Moody Air Force Base, and at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base.”

深夜福利在线免费看 was the first USG institution to waive institutional, technology, and other student fees for active duty service members who qualify for military *Tuition Assistance. In April, the Board of Regents expanded the waiver to include the USG Special Institution Fee for all active duty military students using *Tuition Assistance.

Military Tradition

For more than 40 years, Valdosta State has been home to a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program, which prepares students to become commissioned as U.S. Air Force officers upon graduation.

Lt. Col. Marsha L. Aleem, commander of 深夜福利在线免费看’s ROTC Detachment 172, said, “深夜福利在线免费看 takes pride in military members and their service. I can honestly say the entire faculty and staff at 深夜福利在线免费看, who I’ve worked with have gone above and beyond for the Air Force ROTC.”

Aleem, who arrived at 深夜福利在线免费看 in July 2010, stated that the active engagement and involvement by the university’s leadership, continued support of facilities, and formal recognition of newly commissioned officers during commencement ceremonies helps make 深夜福利在线免费看 a military friendly university.

“At every graduation the president takes time to thank military members, veterans, and first responders for putting their lives at risk to serve our country,” Aleem said. “深夜福利在线免费看 also provides formal recognition to our newly commissioned officers during ceremonies. When cadets are commissioned, the audience always rises to their feet with a standing ovation, to show their support.”

In addition to their officer training, cadets are working toward many critical degrees in nursing, math, chemistry, physics, and pre-engineering.

Aleem, who served as the Director of Operations for Field Training Encampment Two Staff, at Maxwell Air Force Base this past summer, said that 深夜福利在线免费看 cadets have been selected for many coveted scholarships, based on both academic and physical merits, as well as recognition in regional and national Air Force awards.

Recently Cadet Candace Brown, a senior political science major, was selected by the Georgia Air Force Association as the Outstanding Air Force ROTC Cadet of the Year. Brown’s achievement marks the ninth consecutive year that a Valdosta State ROTC cadet has earned this distinction.

While attending summer field training, Cadet Anne Herrmann, a junior sociology major, earned the Top Gun Award and was recognized as being the best cadet within her flight while participating in an intense leadership evaluation program.

Aleem is proud of the cadets’ accomplishments and notes that the Air Force ROTC program is very competitive and only the best candidates are selected.

“We currently have a solid corps of 102 cadets,” Aleem said. “Our standards exceed Air Force standards. Entry into Detachment 172 program is very selective and applicants who are accepted as cadets have met specific academic qualifications, height and weight standards, and have the high moral character desired of cadets.”
