AUBURN — G.I. Jobs, the premier magazine for military personnel transitioning into civilian life, has awarded Central Maine Community College the designation of Military Friendly School. The 2012 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members and veterans as students.

In its effort to help student veterans find the right school, G.I. Jobs incorporated a survey of student veterans for the first time. This feedback provides prospective military students with insight into the student veteran experience at a particular institution based on peer reviews from current students. Student veteran survey feedback can be viewed at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com/2012 list.

The colleges, universities and trade schools on this year’s list make the recruitment and service of students with military experience a priority. The 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools was compiled through extensive research and a data driven survey of more than 8,000 schools nationwide.

Anyone interested in veterans’ services at CMCC is encouraged to contact Denis Fortier, veterans to college coordinator, at 755-5348 or [email protected].
