Camden County College Named 'Military Friendly' School for Second Year
A plaque in the newly dedicated Veterans Memorial Garden on the Blackwood Campus indicates CCC's commitment to student veterans.
Camden County College has once again been named a Military Friendly® School by Victory Media Inc., and its array of special support programs for veterans of the United States Armed Forces is being featured in Victory Media’s 2016 Military Friendly® print publication and online at www.gijobs.com/school/camden-county-college/. This is the second straight year that CCC has earned this key designation.
The Camden County College Veterans Service Center’s staff recognize that pursuing higher education is a major step in transitioning from military to civilian life. They want to help all students who are veterans use their service benefits to build a successful future.
The Center works with veterans on their applications and certifications for military educational benefits, including those available under the Montgomery GI Bill, the Post 9/11 GI Bill®, Selected Reserves, Vocational Rehabilitation and Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance. It also provides them with Veterans Administration work-study information and opportunities and access to a special on-campus lounge where they can meet with fellow veterans.

Furthermore, the Center provides access to a licensed clinical social worker and helps veterans take advantage of available state and county services. This includes referrals to the Camden County Department of Veterans Affairs and Camden County Mental Health Services.
In addition to its “Military Friendly” status, Camden County College has been designated as a “Top School” in the 2015 Military Advanced Education Guide to Colleges & Universities, which measures best practices in the education of military service members and veterans and recognizes “institutions that go out of their way to give back to our men and women in uniform.” The Guide may be accessed online by visiting www.mae-kmi.com.
