List Shows Veterans Which Colleges Are A Good Fit
(Cincinnati, OH — January 9, 2012) For the second consecutive year, the Brown Mackie College family of schools has received the honor and was selected as a Military Friendly school by G.I. Jobs Magazine. The school system now appears on the 2012 list of Military Friendly Schools honoring the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools which are doing the most to embrace America’s veterans as students. The list can be found at http://www.militaryfriendlyschools.com/.
"The Brown Mackie Colleges have always held the deepest respect for the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country," says Danny Finuf, president of Brown Mackie College. "This ranking further acknowledges our long-term commitment to providing military and veteran students with access to a quality education. We are extremely pleased to once again be recognized and in the company of many other distinguished colleges and universities."
The list was compiled last April during which G.I. Jobs Magazine polled more than 7,000 schools nationwide. Methodology, criteria and weighting for the list were developed with the assistance of an Academic Advisory Board (AAB) consisting of educators from Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University, Colorado State University, Dallas County Community College, Old Dominion University, Cleveland State University, Lincoln Technical Institute and Embry Riddle; as well as Keith Wilson, Veteran Administration’s Director of Education Services; Michele Spires, American Council on Education’s Assistant Director of Military Programs; Janet Swandol, Associate Director for College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and Derek Blumke, President of Student Veterans of America. A full list of board members can be found at http://militaryfriendlyschools.com/Article/advisory-board/.

Jobs (www.gijobs.com), a veteran-owned business, is published by Victory Media, which also publishes The Guide to Military Friendly Schools, Military Spouse and Vetrepreneur magazines and annually rates the nation’s "Military Friendly Employers," "Military Spouse Friendly Employers" and "Best Corporations for Veteran-Owned Businesses."
