USM #9 for serving mil-students

University of Southern Mississippi (USM) President Rodney D. Bennett issued a challenge about six years ago to develop a program that would actively care for the needs and interests of military students. Not long afterwards, USM established the Center for Military Veterans, Service Members and Families, reaching out directly to those who have served the nation. USM’s efforts continue to pay when Military Times’ most recent ranking for 2020 places USM at No. 9 nationally in providing services to military students. Last year, USM was No. 15. Mississippi State University registered at No. 21, and the University of Mississippi at No. 63. (Source: USM 11/04/19) https://www.usm.edu/news/2019/release/top-10-ranking-military-publication.php
