Hey, I'm exploring my options for life after service and came across Lakewood College's military program. Anyone have any insight or details about how it's structured, and the kind of support they offer to military members?
Hello,
Lakewood College indeed offers a Military Program that's dedicated to assisting current and former military members transition into civilian life through education. They strive to make the process as smooth as possible.
The military program provides educational pathways designed for a variety of careers. Their program is structured to accommodate the unique needs of service members and veterans. This might include flexibility in the course schedule or the ability to take classes online if you're not able to consistently attend campus sessions due to military commitments or relocation.
Lakewood College also provides dedicated support for military members. They have staff members who specifically work on assisting military students navigate the enrollment process, understand their benefits, and plan their academic career. Additionally, they offer support in understanding and accessing the GI Bill and other military education benefits.
Furthermore, the college might have partnerships with various Veteran Service Organizations to support former service members. It's also common for colleges to host a Student Veterans of America chapter on campus. This organization is a great resource for veteran students, as it provides social opportunities and advocacy for its members.
However, it's worth reaching out to Lakewood College's military department or veterans' affairs office directly, they can provide the most accurate and comprehensive information on their specific programs and support systems.
Best of luck on your journey and thank you for your service!
