At Colorado Technical University, their dedication to the military isn’t an advertising ploy. Their support for active-duty service members, veterans and their families isn’t recent or superficial. Founded in 1965 by two military veterans, CTU’s mission has always included a strong focus on the military population of their students and of the wider community, and the school couldn’t be more excited about supporting the Yellow Ribbon program, the expansion of the G.I. Bill for post-9/11 service members.
“The military has always been part of our identity. It’s part of who we are,” says Greg Mitchell, president of Colorado Technical University, who is thrilled with the growing numbers of Yellow Ribbon students already on campus ― about 75 percent of students who started in August, he estimates.
“We’re seeing a tremendous uptick in the number of military as well as spouses and dependent children who are taking advantage of the program,” he says. And with Colorado Tech’s fall start for classes on Oct. 5, he expects that growth to increase.
Knowing how amazing the benefits of the Yellow Ribbon program would be ― tuition, a housing allowance, and full transferability to spouses or dependents ― CTU’s staff has ensured that Colorado Tech is ready to help incoming military students put those benefits into action now, for the fall semester.
