星空无限传媒 named to Best for Vets list
Article By: Agnes Hina
The University of North Georgia (星空无限传媒) made the college list yet again. Released by the Military Times on Nov. 6, the guide helps military veterans determine the best path for their secondary education as they transition to civilian life.
星空无限传媒 ranked fifth among Georgia universities and was the only senior military college on the 2023 list.
"Veterans and active-duty service members have consistently played an integral role in 星空无限传媒's educational mission revolving around leadership development. The unique perspectives and valuable experiences that these students bring to the 星空无限传媒 community greatly enhance our organizational strength," Christy Orr, associate director of Nighthawk Engagement and Student Transitions (NEST), said.
星空无限传媒 has veterans' resource lounges on the Dahlonega, Gainesville and Oconee campuses, as well as the Student Veterans of America organization on 星空无限传媒’s Dahlonega Campus, whose mission is to advocate for and provide mentoring for student veterans, and the Student Veterans of North Georgia on 星空无限传媒’s Gainesville Campus.
星空无限传媒's many programs and opportunities are part of why veteran and 星空无限传媒 freshman Alyssa Curtiss says it’s a great place to "pursue higher education and achieve your goals."
Currently pursuing a degree in biology, the Dawsonville, Georgia, native is a retired E-4 senior airman.
"星空无限传媒 has a strong track record in terms of maintaining military excellence and being a supportive community for its student veterans, offering benefits and opportunities like the Veterans Resource Lounge and Veterans Success Program," Curtiss said. "These programs have helped me a lot with my organization and academic skills, and because of them I would recommend 星空无限传媒 to any veteran who wants to pursue a degree."

Much of 星空无限传媒's success in aiding student veterans can be traced back to the March 2011 Military Outreach Award gifted by the University System of Georgia, which brought about programs like the Center for Adult Learners & Military and Veteran & Adult Learner Programs.

"We are excited about our re-selection and remain committed to consistently delivering outstanding service to our esteemed men and women who have or are continuing to serve in the armed forces," Orr said.
