LETTERfrom theeditorFor only the second time in the history of our magazine,we’ve decided to dedicate an edition to military-themedstudent success stories.Many of our readers probably remember the first instance whenwe allowed career college students and graduates to become thevoice of the magazine. In the summer of 2010, at the heightof the Department of Education’s initial gainful employmentproposal, we asked you to send us the stories of your mostsuccessful students and graduates to highlight the impact ofcareer training-oriented colleges. In our "What’s at Risk?" issue,we presented more than 300 individual student success storiesthat our sector leaders could pass along to influential electedofficials and leaders in other areas of higher education.A year ago, we ran a collection of stories featuring accomplishedmilitary veterans who had been recognized for theiraccomplishments in the classroom and in service to our nation.Now, at a time when financial aid and military benefits are beingcut, we felt we needed to do our part to share even more storiesof these learners and their incredible accomplishments.According to the Association of Private Sector Colleges andUniversities (APSCU), career colleges educate about 14 percentof military service and veteran undergraduate students. Militarystudents choose career training-oriented colleges for manyreasons, including the focus on careers, flexible scheduling,smaller class sizes, concentrated program offerings and, in somecases, the hands-on learning approach that bears a resemblanceto how they were trained in the military.In this edition, we concentrate our coverage on a number ofmilitary-themed topics. We feature the stories of some of thecareer college sector’s most accomplished military studentsand graduates. Their accomplishments are harrowing, inspiringand a great symbol of the pride we should all feel this monthon Veterans Day. In this spirit of reflection, Michael Dakduk,Executive Director of Student Veterans of America, penned apiece about what has made career colleges so appealing to ournation’s service members for decades. Karen Watts examines thetransitions and related struggles of these students from militaryto college life. Dr. Pete Savo covers colleges that are the mostmilitary-friendly and includes institutions of all types in hopesthat our schools can learn from them all.Of course, you’ll also find the latest news on the regulatoryenvironment and APSCU’s "The Link" section, our connectionto what’s happening in Washington.Since the advent of the GI Bill, active-duty soldiers and veteranswho have sacrificed significantly in service to this countrynow have the outlets necessary to continue their education. Wefeel, as you do, that career colleges are best able to serve thesemilitary members by helping them obtain careers that will bettertheir lives. We are honored to share some of their stories.NOVEMBER 2013 | 4
