Texas Wesleyan University has been designated a 2016 Military Friendly School^® by Victory Media for the sixth year in a row.

The Military Friendly^® Schools designation is awarded to the top colleges in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students, and to dedicate resources to ensure their success both in the classroom and after graduation.

 “Texas Wesleyan is committed to providing exceptional support and services to military students and veterans,” President Frederick G. Slabach said. “It is an honor to be recognized by Victory Media for the sixth straight year.”

Institutions competed for the Military Friendly^® School title by completing a survey of over 100 questions covering ten categories, including military support on campus, graduation and employment outcomes, and military spouse policies.

“Post-secondary institutions earning the 2016 Military Friendly^® School award have exceptionally strong programs for transitioning service members and spouses,” said Daniel Nichols, chief product officer of Victory Media and Navy Reserve veteran. “Our Military Friendly^® Schools are truly aligning their military programs and services with employers to help students translate military experience, skills and training into successful careers after graduation.”
