Georgia Southern One Of Nation’s Top Ten Military Friendly® Schools

Georgia Southern University has earned a 2022-2023 Top Ten Military Friendly® distinction by Viqtory, publishers of Military Spouse, GI Jobs and Military Friendly magazines. Georgia Southern ranked at number nine on the Top Ten list. Being named a Military Friendly School is nothing new for Georgia Southern, having earned that distinction for the past five years.

“We are extremely proud to be recognized as being among the 10 most military-friendly universities in the country, especially after learning that more than 1,800 schools participated in the survey,” said Georgia Southern University President Kyle Marrero. “With our connections to Fort Stewart and the fact that about 10% of our student body is military-connected, we have a responsibility to ensure our people and our processes are attuned to the needs of those who are serving selflessly, who are retired or who are related to a veteran or active-duty service member. My thanks to all our faculty and staff who have worked hard to earn this recognition.”

The University has a strong and proud history of supporting veterans, current-serving military personnel and their families, and has accumulated many awards for its dedication to the military community.

“We are honored to receive such a significant recognition as a Top Ten Military Friendly® institution,” said retired Col. George Fredrick, Ed.D., director of Military and Veteran Services. “Georgia Southern University maintains strong ties to the military forces in our region, specifically Ft. Stewart, Hunter Army Airfield, the Marines, the Georgia National Guard, the Air Force and the Coast Guard. We proudly serve our veterans and their families while on their academic journeys. We are indebted to our faculty, staff, students, and communities for their continued support of our military-connected student population.”
