Stockton Earns Military Spouse Friendly School Designation
Galloway, N.J. 鈥 For the first time, the national Military Friendly organization has named Stockton University as a 2022-2023 Military Spouse Friendly School.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2022-2023 survey, which is the longest-running and most comprehensive review of university investments in service members.
Stockton is one of 346 schools recognized for the achievement and comes after the school earned a 2022-2023 Silver Military Friendly designation in March.
鈥淲e are pleased to receive this recognition, especially after getting the Silver Military Friendly designation earlier this year,鈥 said Michael Barany, the director of Stockton鈥檚 Military and Veterans Success Center. 鈥淲e know that it鈥檚 important to not just serve veterans, but support their spouses and families too, and that鈥檚 an integral part of what we do here at 91视频.鈥
