Montgomery County Community College has been named a Silver Medal Military Friendly® School recipient in the category of community colleges for 2017.
New this year, Military Friendly® Awards showcase the most powerful and effective programs of more than 200 companies and 1,200 post-secondary schools that were designated as “Military Friendly®” in November.
Of those designated, 154 employers and 541 schools have been recognized for excellence in different categories, highlighting not only “Are you Military Friendly®?” but “How Military Friendly® are you?”
Dr. Kevin Pollock, President of MCCC, said the recognition was a tribute to the efforts of the Veterans Resource Center and the hard work and dedication of the College’s faculty and staff to serve veterans.
“Montgomery County Community College strives to provide outstanding services and amenities to our veterans and their families,” Dr. Pollock said. “They have made tremendous sacrifices to serve our nation and deserve high-quality educational opportunities and programs to help them make a smooth transition to civilian life.”
The Veterans Resource Center at MCCC, with offices on the Central Campus in Blue Bell and on the West Campus in Pottstown, currently serves more than 450 veterans, service members, and spouse/dependents with their transition to college.
