William Paterson University has been honored as a “military friendly school” for the eighth year in a row by the 2018 Guide to Military Friendly Schools and is included in their online listing at militaryfriendly.com.

“We’re proud of our veterans and of the contributions they make to our community and will do everything we can to support them both academically and personally,” says Miki Cammarata, vice president for student development at William Paterson.

William Paterson earned the designation from Victory Media, publisher of its flagship G.I Jobs magazine and website that serves as the go-to resource for service members, veterans and transition managers.

The University’s Office of Veteran and Military Affairs offers information, resources, and a supportive environment for veterans, active military and dependents, and provides assistance with the unique challenges students face as they transition from military service to college life. William Paterson students may join the Student Veteran Organization, an active club on campus, and Omega Delta Sigma, a national veterans’ fraternity.

William Paterson has a long history of support for veterans, dating back to post-World War II when veterans enrolled under the G.I. Bill of Rights.
