Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
A publication has named two Dayton-area schools among the best for veterans nationwide.
Sinclair Community College was ranked 198 and Wright State University was 212 out of 325 schools ranked by the Military Times.
The publication considered factors such as completion, retention, and grade point average in determining ranking followed by military-specific resources and financial assistance.
Seth Gordon, director of the Wright State Veteran and Military Center (VMC), said what veterans need from colleges and universities is actually simple.
“You want them to feel like they’re welcome,” Gordon said in an interview Thursday. “You want them to feel like they belong. When they walk in, you want them to feel like, we have resources for you.”
Schools need to get the financial and benefits side of an education right, he said. And they should strive to provide the space and programs veterans need.
