Welcome Veterans and Military

"Attending Empire State College helped open my eyes to other possibilities and enabled me to see that there is truly a need on the outside for health and human services. I think that students too often are focused on the bottom line, courses like business, etc., but we still need a human touch.”

-Diahann White, Sergeant First Class U.S. Army, Empire State College '06 (read an interview with Diahann)
