The New Hampshire Army National Guard has opened a new recruitment office on the campus of NHTI—Concord’s Community College. The office marks the first National Guard presence at a NH community college.

“This partnership is about our students,” said NHTI president, Patrick Tompkins. “By working with the National Guard, we can provide our campus unbeatable access to all the opportunities that this avenue of military service has to offer.”

The National Guard office on NHTI’s campus will be centrally located in Little Hall—the same building that hosts a bustling cafeteria, 24/7 Campus Safety department, and the college’s engineering labs.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with NHTI,” said NH Adjutant Gen. David Mikolaities. “Establishing a presence on campus allows us to share the career options and benefits of serving in the New Hampshire Army National Guard directly with students. They have access to extensive education assistance, including full tuition waiver, GI Bill and credentialing programs, scholarships, and options to transfer benefits to spouses. We can be another resource for them as they pursue their calling.”

Fall semester classes have started at NHTI, and the new National Guard recruitment office is open for students Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Learn more and plan a tour of NHTI’s campus by visiting nhti.edu/admissions/events.
