Toledo Provides Added Resources for Adult and Military Students

The University of Toledo has recently received a lot of attention for a strong commitment to serving adult and military students make the transition to (or back to) higher education. These non-traditional students are often juggling outside responsibilities that a traditional college student does not have to worry about. UT recognizes the added responsibility and has made several resources available to these students to help them be successful in their studies.

One such resource for adult students is the new Office of Adult Student Extended Service. Housed in the College of Adult and Lifelong Learning (C.A.L.L.), this office aims to assist adult students in the transition into their current degree program or non-degree classes.

The UT Military Service Center has also received media attention for providing similar support to military veterans. The University also hosted a week of events in November as part of the national Joining Forces Week.

U.S. Army Captain Trent Miller was able to utilize these services during his time as an MBA student before graduating this past fall. As an army officer, a concentration in leadership seemed to be a natural fit for Capt. Miller’s MBA. In a December 2012 UT News article, Miller stated “All of the leadership-specific classes have been very applicable to what I have been doing the last nine years. All of the faculty members, in my experiences, have been very receptive to my comments and input into the class”.

The College of Graduate Studies would like to thank Captain Miller and all our military veterans for their dedicated service. More information on resources for adult students and military veterans can be found on the College of Adult and Lifelong Learning webpage.
