Meridian Community College: MCC Earns ‘Best For Vets' Nod

Press release from Meridian Community College:

July 23, 2021

Meridian Community College’s efforts to support the military, veterans, and their
dependents have resulted in the College being named to The Military Times’ list of
‘Best for Vets.’ 

MCC was one of three Mississippi community colleges that made the list. 

Each year, colleges across the nation are surveyed asking about their programs for
veterans. The results are analyzed, along with public data about college and universities
obtained from Education and Veterans Affairs departments, and turned into an official
ranking. 

With two strategic bases in Meridian, NAS Meridian and Key Field, and the overwhelming
support they give to the College, MCC is honored to serve our military, veterans,
and dependents. “Our administration, faculty, and staff strive to give the best service
possible and are committed to those who serve for us,” said Ashley Tanksley, MCC director
of admissions.    

Nate Nomichith, MCC military/veterans coordinator for MCC added, "Service members,
veterans, and their families make tremendous sacrifices through their service to our
nation. The importance of helping them achieve their educational and career goals
should not be understated. It is a privilege to work with Veterans Affairs and other
veterans resources to provide service members and their families with first class
education opportunities here at MCC."

The announcement by MilitaryTimes.com follows the ranking earlier this year by Military
Friendly Schools, in which MCC was one of only three Mississippi community colleges
to earn that distinction this year.
