“We award the ‘Best for Vets’ designation to the very best - to the colleges that really are setting the example,” said Amanda Miller, editor of Military Times’ Best for Vets rankings and special editions. Earlier in 2015, the College was awarded the designation of a ‘Top School’ in the 2016 Military Advanced Education & Transition Guide to Colleges &
Universities, measuring best practices in military and veteran education. Edgewood College was also named a ‘2016 Military Friendly’ school. It’s the first time the College has received all three honors in the same year. Today, students who are veterans (and their families) are in traditional undergraduate programs, accelerated programs, and in masters-level and doctoral programs at the College.
COVER STORY
In November, Edgewood College was named to the Military Times Best for Vets: Colleges 2016 list, marking the first time the College has received this honor. Edgewood College is one of only five Wisconsin institutions, and the only private college in the state, to merit placement on the list.
In 2011, Edgewood College established the Veterans and Military Services Office, and hired Matthew Schroeder ’07 as its first Director. Let’s meet Matthew, and some of the students who through their study and their work, continue to add to the rich fabric of our communities.
