2023年3月9日
Hudson Valley Community College was designated a gold-level 军事 Friendly® School for 2023. The 2023 军事 Friendly 学校® list produced by Viqtory recognizes the top colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students and to ensure their success on campus.
Originally established as the 退伍军人 Vocational School in 1953, Hudson Valley has a long tradition of assisting active duty personnel and veterans with benefits, 咨询, academic support and specialized student services. The college now educates more than 400 student veterans and offers transfer credit for military experience, 奖学金, 学费延期货, dedicated study space, 导师, a student Armed Forces Club and a host of other services.
The college’s 退伍军人 Resource and Outreach Center (VET-ROC), launched ahead of the Fall 2021 semester, is the focal point for veterans and the military-connected community on campus. Located on the first floor of the campus center, it also houses the 约瑟夫P. Dwyer 退伍军人 Peer Support Program of Rensselaer County, which offers non-clinical peer-to-peer support for any Rensselaer County veteran and works to help all Capital Region veterans reintegrate into civilian society.
“Hudson Valley is deeply committed to providing support services for our student veterans and active duty service members, as well as their families,” said President Roger Ramsammy. “70年来, we have made it our mission to help members of our military-connected community achieve success in their college careers. We opened our 退伍军人 Resource and Outreach Center to provide even more dedicated support and staff for our veteran and active duty students. We are proud to be of service to those who have served our country, and honored to be named as a 军事 Friendly® School once again.”

More than 1,700 schools participate in the annual survey to determine 军事 Friendly® designees.
