This May, the worldwide leader in online learning solutions offers thanks to the nation's servicemembers and veterans.
TAMPA, Fla., May 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Since 1999, America has set aside the month of May to recognize the courage and sacrifice of our military personnel. This includes both veterans and those currently serving, as well as all members of the armed forces who gave their lives defending this country. Bisk Education is proud to join Americans everywhere in extending to them our sincerest gratitude.
"There is no job more honorable or more important than serving in the United States Armed Forces," says Mike Bisk, President of Bisk Education. "Everyone in our organization is humbled by the courage and dedication of America's servicemembers and veterans. During National Military Appreciation Month, we offer them our heartfelt thanks."
To better meet the needs of military and veteran students, Bisk maintains a permanent staff of military education specialists. This includes a senior military liaison who works with more than 450 educational service officers (ESOs) worldwide, and a team of military enrollment advisors – many veterans themselves – who are specially trained to guide current and retired servicemembers through their higher ed journey.
"We believe in veterans helping veterans," says Mike Bisk. "That's why we've filled key positions with personnel who have military experience. They understand the unique challenges faced by military and veteran students, like having to attend class while deployed or trying to navigate the GI Bill application process. They've been where these students are now, and they genuinely want to help them get a great education."
Bisk has enrolled more than 30,000 servicemembers and veterans in 100% online degree programs that offer anytime, anywhere convenience. This allows those students to pursue an education while continuing to meet their work, family and military obligations.
