Baldwin
Wallace
University
is
among
the
top,
Gold-rated
"2021-2022
Military
Friendly®
Schools"
nationwide.
The
Gold
award
designation,
published
by
Military
Friendly®
online
and
in
GI
Jobs
magazine,
reflects
"leading
practices,
outcomes,
and
effective
programs"
for
active
military
and
veteran
students.
More than 1,200 schools sought the Military Friendly® School status, with just 162 two and four-year schools earning a Gold award nationwide; just 10 in Ohio. The gold distinction reflects schools that are "setting the example with their programs and initiatives."
Institutions were evaluated using "both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey," which is owned and operated by VIQTORY, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business.
VIQTORY calls it "the longest-running, most comprehensive review of college and university investments in serving military and veteran students."
Michael
G.
Brown
'18,
who
leads
BW's
dedicated
veteran
support
team
as
manager
of
veteran
and
military
services,
said,
"BW
continues
to
work
hard
to
build
up
our
supportive
learning
community
and
to
provide
the
resources
service
members
need
to
make
a
successful
transition
from
the
military
to
higher
education."
The accomplished U.S. Marine Corps veteran and BW grad said the office he now leads was vital to his own academic journey. "They were instrumental in ensuring I was successful from the day I stepped on campus. I'm grateful to be paying that forward."
Recognized by U.S. News as one of America's Best Regional Colleges and Best for Veterans, BW has a long history of supporting the military, beginning in the 1940s when veterans were the original "non-traditional" students.
BW also has Yellow Ribbon status and grants generous transfer credit for military training, including a waiver of the international studies core requirement based on deployment or overseas duty.
BW has an active chapter of the Student Veterans of America and an All-Star Student Veterans Center that opened in 2019 with funding from Major League Baseball. Learn more information about veterans and military students.
