Cloud earns Military Friendly School designation

Cloud County Community College announced today that it has earned the 2021-2022 Military Friendly^® School designation.

The 2021-​2022 Military Friendly® Schools list will be published in the May issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and can be found at ​www.militaryfriendly.com​.

Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly®​ Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey response set and government/agency public data sources, within a logic based scoring assessment. We measure the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for Student Retention, Graduation, Job Placement, Loan Repayment, Persistence (Degree Advancement or Transfer) and Loan Default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.

“We are honored to receive this distinction,” said Amber Knoettgen, Cloud County Community College President. “We are proud to serve our military population and their families, and we work hard to provide an environment that supports their success both in the classroom and after graduation.”

“Military Friendly®​ ​is committed to transparency and providing consistent data driven standards in our designation process. This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages colleges to consistently evolve and invest in their programs,” said Kayla Lopez, National Director of Military Partnerships with Military Friendly®.

“Schools who achieve designation show true commitment and dedication in their efforts. Our standards assist schools by providing a benchmark that promotes positive educational outcomes, resources, and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the Military Community.”
