The Military Friendly® Schools list recognizes colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students and to ensure their success on campus.

L&C’s Director of Career and Veteran Services Terry Lane works closely with faculty and staff, especially the Enrollment and Financial Aid departments, to help veteran students overcome challenges that interfere with their academic success.
