UNC Greensboro has a long tradition of supporting military-affiliated students. For the eleventh consecutive year, UNCG has been named a Military Friendly School by VIQTORY for excellence in supporting military-affiliated students. UNCG is in the Top 10 nationally for Tier 2 institutions (R2), and is one of just four UNC System institutions to receive this distinction.
Currently, UNCG serves more than 1,300 military-affiliated students – a number that includes service members, veterans, and their dependents. UNCG’s Office of Military-Affiliated Services is a one-stop shop that provides programming, mentorship, resources, community, and support for future, current, and past military-affiliated students and their families.
To celebrate Military Appreciation Month, Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Bob Shea, a veteran, had a conversation with Daysha Evans, an active service member serving in the United States Navy and a public health education student here at UNCG.
