UNF honored as a Military Support College of Distinction
The University of North Florida has been honored by Colleges of Distinction for its support of military-connected students and dedication to helping veterans overcome obstacles and achieve success.
The Military Support Colleges of Distinction list recognizes schools that engage in initiatives directed toward active-duty and veteran students, including educational benefits, a dedicated military and veteran department, flexible educational options, campus activities and community support.
UNF’s Military and Veterans Resource Center serves as the primary point of contact for active-duty military, veterans and their family members on campus. The center is committed to ensuring that military-connected students successfully make the transition from the military environment to campus life and are assisted in their progress toward completing their academic degrees. The MVRC also serves as a resource to veteran employees, providing guidance and referrals to assist with coaching, mentoring and integration into the campus community.
Since 2000, Colleges of Distinction has been committed to honoring schools throughout the U.S. for true excellence in higher education. The member schools within the Colleges of Distinction consortium distinguish themselves through their dedicated focus on the undergraduate experience. Its website provides dynamic college profiles, customized tools and resources for students, parents and high school counselors.
