Western Wyoming College Earns 2026-2027 Military Friendly Schools® Designation
Western Wyoming College announced today that it has earned the 2026-2027 Military Friendly® Schools Designation recognized as a Bronze School.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly Schools® designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey.
Over 3,200 companies participated in the Military Friendly® survey. Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Military Friendly®, in consultation with the Military Friendly® Advisory Council, a group of independent leaders in the military community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score, public data, and an assessment of the institution’s ability to meet and exceed thresholds for student recruitment, retention, academic progress, graduation rates, career placement, and support services for veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses.
Western is committed to supporting veterans, active-duty service members, and military-connected students through dedicated veteran services, assistance with VA education benefits, academic advising, and flexible educational pathways.
"At Western, we recognize the leadership, resilience, and dedication that military-connected students bring to our campus. Earning the Military Friendly® Bronze designation reflects our commitment to providing the support, resources, and opportunities they need to achieve their educational and career goals. We are proud to serve those who have served our country,” said Mark Rembacz, Western’s AVP of Institutional Effectiveness.
“Earning the Military Friendly® designation is more than a badge of honor; it is a reflection of an institution’s deep-rooted values and strategic commitment to those who served. These schools don’t just open doors for veterans and military spouses, they build sustainable pathways for academic success and long-term impact. Their support is transformative, proving that investing in military-connected students is both a moral imperative and a standard for educational excellence.” — Kayla Lopez, Vice President of Memberships, Military Friendly®
