SUNY Potsdam "Military Friendly" in North Country Now News

The State University of New York at Potsdam has been chosen as a military-friendly institution once again this year.

SUNY Potsdam was selected as a 2015 Military-Friendly School by Victory Media, which publishes G.I. Jobs magazine.

The 2015 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military students and to dedicate resources to ensure their success in the classroom after graduation.

After forming a college-wide Veteran and Military Task Force five years ago, SUNY Potsdam has worked hard to enhance a variety of services and implement procedures to meet the specific needs of military members and their families.

SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton jointly hired Patrick Massaro as the shared veterans and military services coordinator. A graduate of both institutions, and a captain in the U.S. Marine Reserves, Massaro serves students on both campuses.

More than 150 active-duty service members, veterans and their families members are currently enrolled as SUNY Potsdam students.
