Council on Military Transition to Education logo
 
Norco, CA - This month, Norco College accepted its invitation to join the National Council on Military Transition to Education (CMTE). The CMTE is a consortium of select institutions of higher learning that has the mission to provide recommendations to the Department of Defense (DoD) and other relevant organizations on policies and practices related to military service members and veterans in higher education. The CMTE works to improve the early engagement of service members participating in postsecondary education and facilitates research related to improving their experiences as they transition to and through higher education while serving in the military or as veterans. Dr. Samuel Lee was recently appointed to oversee this project. Lee said, "Transitioning from the military to civilian life can be a challenge, and even more so when adding in academics. As a member of the council, Norco College will use this platform to be an influential voice at the table for all California veteran scholars."
