WKU西肯塔基大学被评为金牌军事友好学校

西肯塔基首次被胜利媒体评为金牌军事友好学校，排名提升了三个级别。只有162所学校被选为金牌机构。在过去的13年里，西肯塔基大学自豪地被评为军事友好学校，并被列入该领域最全面的职业培训、教育和家庭资源数据库。

每年，温大军事学生服务办公室都会完成一项衡量学生成功的礼仪调查，并评估温大的军事友好计划和政策。然后使用公共数据源和维多利亚媒体调查的回复对获得军事友好®学校称号的机构进行评估。一旦编译，信息就会被审查并与全国其他类似的项目进行比较。自2009年以来，西肯塔基连续获得这一分类。

军事学生服务主任肯特·约翰逊(Kent Johnson)就该奖项提出了他的想法，以及是什么让WKU成为军事友好机构。“我们与军事有关的学生经常面临一系列独特的情况和挑战，例如驻扎在世界各地，我们确保为这些学生提供支持系统。该支持系统的一个重要方面是它贯穿大学的关键组成部分，从管理人员到支持人员和顾问，并延伸到我们课堂上的教职员工，无论是面对面还是在线。我们有敬业的员工，他们了解我们的军事附属学生所处的独特环境，并为他们提供个性化的支持。这让学生们看到西肯塔基理解他们，重视他们，并愿意尽我们所能帮助他们取得成功。这种个性化和有目的的支持贯穿他们的整个学生生活体验。它从探究的角度开始，跟随他们完成他们的学术旅程，并延伸到毕业之后。为了支持他们毕业后，我们致力于建立和维护网络和流程，以提高学生在毕业后获得就业和职业发展的成功率。我们的学生知道我们随时为他们服务。”我们致力于建立和维护网络和流程，以提高学生在毕业后获得就业和职业发展的成功率。我们的学生知道我们随时为他们服务。”我们致力于建立和维护网络和流程，以提高学生在毕业后获得就业和职业发展的成功率。我们的学生知道我们随时为他们服务。”

军事学生服务致力于支持与军事有联系的学生，并帮助他们在WKU取得成功。约翰逊说：“从该机构为使我们做好军事准备而采取的政策，到为帮助学生利用他们的教育福利和应对军事活动等独特情况而制定的流程和人员，再到提供一流应用学习的教师经验。我们非常感谢与军队有联系的学生，并重视他们所拥有的独特体验，这些体验在带到大学时为课程作业和课堂体验增加了质量、深度和独特的现实世界体验。我们的军校学生是一个多元化的人群，他们带来了多样化的生活体验，从而增加了WKU体验的质量。我们重视他们，并希望尽我们所能为那些服务的人以及我们与军队有关的学生服务，他们是服务人员的家庭成员。他们都是我们在西肯塔基的军事联系家庭的一部分。无论他们在世界上的哪个地方，或在学术旅程中，我们都努力在他们所在的地方与他们会面，并帮助他们到达他们需要去的地方。我们随时准备好并愿意在他们需要的任何事情上提供帮助。”

WKU军事学生服务还通过“部队教科书”计划提供帮助，该计划帮助与军事有联系的学生免费获得学位课程所需的教科书。他们还协助处理联邦学费援助请求并维护一个退伍军人资源中心。

WKU还为其军校学生提供独特的服务；向所有现役、预备役和国民警卫队成员提供每学分250美元的折扣学费，此产品也可供研究生使用。

WKU Named a Gold Military Friendly School

WKU has been named a Gold Military Friendly School by Victory Media for the first time,increasing its ranking by three levels.Only 162 schools were selected as a Gold institution.WKU has proudly been named Military Friendly School for the past 13 years and has been listed in the field’s most comprehensive database for career training,education,and family resources.

Each year,the WKU Military Student Services office completes a propriety survey which measures student success and assesses WKU’s military friendly programs and policies.Institutions earning the Military Friendly School designation are then evaluated using both public data sources and responses from the Victoria Media survey.Once compiled,the information is vetted and compared to other similar programs across the nation.WKU has achieved this classification consecutively since 2009.

Director of Military Student Services,Kent Johnson,offered his thoughts on the award and what makes WKU a military friendly institution.“Our military connected students often face a unique set of circumstances and challenges,such as being stationed all over the world,and we ensure that there is a support system in place for these students.One important aspect of this support system is that it runs throughout key components of the university,from administration,to support staff and advisors,and extends to the faculty in our classrooms,both in person and online.We have dedicated staff who understand the unique circumstances our military affiliated students are in and who offer personalized support to them.This allows the students to see that WKU understands them,values them,and is willing to do whatever we can to set them up for success.This personalized and purposeful support runs through their entire student life experience.It begins from the point of inquiry,follows them through their academic journey and extends beyond graduation.To support them in post-graduation,we work on building and maintaining networks and processes to improve student success in gaining employment and career development after graduation.Our students know that we are always available to them.”

The Military Student Services strives to support military connected students and help them succeed at WKU.Johnson says,“From policies adopted by the institution to make us military ready,to the processes and people put in place to assist the students with using their education benefits and navigating unique circumstances like military activations,to the faculty who provide top notch applied learning experiences.We truly appreciate our military connected students and value the unique experiences that they have had,which when brought to the university adds quality,depth,and unique real-world experiences to coursework and the class experience.Our military students are a diverse population and bring with them that diversity of lived experiences that adds quality to the WKU experience.We value them and want to do what we can do serve those who serve,as well as our military connected students who are family member of someone serving.They are all a part of our military connected family at WKU.Wherever they are in the world,or are at in the academic journey,we strive to meet them where they are and help them get to where they need to be.We always stand ready and willing to assist them in anything they need.”

WKU Military Student Services also provides help through the Textbook for Troops program,which helps military-connected students receive necessary textbooks for their degree program for free.They also assist with federal tuition assistance requests and maintain a Veteran Resource Center.

WKU also offers unique services to its military students;a discounted tuition rate of$250 per credit hour to all active duty,reserve,and National Guard members.This offering is also available for graduate student use.
