Tomorrow at 10 A.M. will hold a VETS Campus Designation Ceremony in the lobby of CMAC. Lane College is the first private in Tennessee to receive this designation.
For more information contact Melinda Richardson at 731-410-6700.

Lane College has been designated as a VETS Campus by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) in recognition of the school's services and recources to student veterans. Lane is one of first private HBCU institutions to have the distinction of being named a VETS campus. Currently, Lane College provides services to over 30 students who have previously served or are currently serving in the armed forces.
The VETS Campus designation is part of the Tennessee Veterans Education Transition Support (VETS) Act of 2014. Campuses that meet the requirements must prioritize outreach to veterans and create an enviroment in which veteran students have the resources to thrive. Specific requirements include annual surveys of veteran students, targeted orientation programs, and mentoring and support services developed specifically for students who are veterans. THEC administers the VETS Campus program and provides the designation to campuses that meet the requirements specified by the VETS Act.
During the March 15 event, Lane will receive a certificate from the THEC recognizing the institution's designation as a VETS Campus.

WHEN: 10 a.m. March 15
WHERE: Lane College Campus, CMAC Auditorium
CONTACT: Melinda Richardson, 731.410.6700, 901.605.1975

The Tennessee Higher Education Commission was created in 1967 by the Tenessee General Assembly.

Lane College receives Veteran Reconnect Grant

Lane College is proud to announce we are one of 14 colleges and universities in the state of Tennessee receiving funding and program support through the Veteran Reconnect Grant from the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC). The College was awarded $66,984 to help fund our veteran program, Frontline. The program assists veterans and service members as they pursue a college degree.

The program is part of Governor Bill Haslam’s "Drive to 55" initiative to increase graduation rates in the state to 55 percent by 2025. As part of the program, the THEC will provide assistance to the campus to help veterans earn prior learning assessment (PLA) credits. This allows student veterans who are just entering or returning to college to earn credits for skills and credentials earned during their military service. It also allows students to accelerate the completion their education.

“Many veterans in Tennessee put their education on hold to serve our nation in the armed forces, and as a state, we have an obligation to support them in completing their education," Haslam said. "Through the Drive to 55, we can connect veterans with the post secondary credentials that will help them further stand out in the workforce. Veteran Reconnect is one more way that Tennessee is investing in veterans and their future.”

As part of receiving the grant, Lane College will continue to develop and improve our process for providing the help our student veterans need to receive PLA credits. This will help the College evolve our program by providing easier access to information our students need or already have available on campus to obtain academic credits. Lane College is excited to be a part of the program and is looking forward to continuing to provide educational opportunities to our student veterans.
