Posted by: Elizabeth Richardson on March 24, 2022, One Comment

Pennsylvania National Guard Association (PNGAS) has once again recognized East Stroudsburg University as a PNGAS Guard-Friendly School designation. PNGAS also named ESU to the “Best of the Best” list. ESU first received both distinctions in 2019, the inaugural year for the awards.

Developed by the PNGAS Education Advisory Council, the PNGAS Guard-Friendly School standards were designed to recognize colleges, universities and trade schools which meet or exceed 10 baseline criteria that create a supportive learning environment to assist members of the Pennsylvania Guard pursuing post-secondary degrees.

“Guard members have unique responsibilities, and we know this creates different challenges for them when pursuing a degree,” said ESU Interim President Kenneth Long. “ESU has made a deliberate effort to be mindful, accommodating and supportive of our students who are also serving in the Pennsylvania National Guard. We are honored to once again receive this recognition and will continue to support our students who serving our country.”

PNGAS is a non-profit organization, not associated with or legally connected to the Pennsylvania National Guard, the state or federal government, the US Military or the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
