Jersey City, N.J. \u2013 November 11, 2024 \u2013<\/b> 猫咪社区 Peter’s University is proud to announce its recognition as the number one top-ranked university in New Jersey and 14th overall in the nation on <\/span>Military Times<\/span><\/i>\u2019 <\/span>2024 Best for Vets: Colleges<\/span><\/i> rankings. This annual ranking provides the largest and most comprehensive list of top colleges and universities that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to supporting military service members, veterans and their families.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s University is deeply committed to honoring and supporting those who have served our country,\u201d said Hubert Benitez, D.D.S., Ph.D., president of 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s University. \u201cWe are proud to be a leading choice for veterans in New Jersey and across the nation, and we remain steadfast in our mission to help them achieve success in their educational and professional lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Building on its longstanding commitment to veterans, service members and their families, 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s University has intensified its efforts in recent years to become the premier destination for military-affiliated students. Notably, the University appointed Frank Rivera, a United States Air Force veteran, in October 2021 as the inaugural director of military and veterans services, bringing invaluable firsthand experience and leadership to this pivotal role. To further enhance support, a chapter of Student Veterans of America was established on campus, creating a dedicated community for veteran students. The University also introduced Green Zone training across its community, equipping students, faculty, staff and administrators with the understanding and skills needed to support military-affiliated students as they transition into civilian life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These initiatives reflect 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s deep commitment to creating an inclusive, supportive and empowering environment for those who have served <\/span>\u2014a dedication that has now earned the University a top spot in <\/span>Military Times<\/span><\/i>\u2019 prestigious <\/span>Best for Vets<\/span><\/i> rankings<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each year, <\/span>Military Times<\/span><\/i> surveys colleges and universities nationwide to evaluate their veteran-focused programs. These survey responses, along with public data sourced from the Department of Education and Department of Veterans Affairs, undergo a rigorous analysis by the <\/span>Military Times<\/span><\/i> data team to produce a trusted, unbiased ranking. This year, 304 schools earned a place on the prestigious list.<\/span><\/p>\n

For over a decade, <\/span>Military Times Best for Vets: Colleges<\/span><\/i> has helped veterans make informed choices about their educational futures, showcasing institutions dedicated to supporting their unique needs. \u201cOur comprehensive survey and thoughtful methodology ensure that our rankings remain a trusted resource,\u201d said Jon Simkins, executive editor at Sightline Media Group, parent company of <\/span>Military Times<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to this recognition, 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s was also presented with the New Jersey Governor\u2019s \u201cWe Value Our Veterans\u201d Academia Award in November 2021. In March 2022, 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s earned the <\/span>2022-23 Military Friendly\u00ae School designation, <\/span>a standard that measures an organization\u2019s commitment, effort and success in creating sustainable and meaningful opportunity for the military community. <\/span>In September 2023, the University was named among the \u201cBest Colleges for Veterans\u201d by <\/span>U.S. News and World Report<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n
