Welcome, Veterans

Shoreline Community College is “veterans friendly.”

 

“As a veteran and an Army brat, I understand the difficulty of transitioning from the team-oriented structure of the military to the less structured environment of college,” SCC President Lee Lambert said. “I couldn’t be prouder of this college and the efforts to make our veterans feel welcome.”

 

Veterans signing Shoreline officially became “veterans friendly” with the signing of a memorandum of understanding on March 4, 2010, at the college’s Second Annual Veterans Roundtable. Signing the agreement were Lambert, state Veterans Affairs Director John Lee and Mike Gregoire, husband of Gov. Chris Gregoire and an advocate for veterans.

 

To help veterans use their benefits, SCC has a designated adviser, a Certifying Official, necessary for military transcript and record review as well as advising on various GI Bill benefits. SCC also has a Veterans Center where resources, support and just a place to study are available.
