CANTON — SUNY Canton has been selected as one of the most military spouse friendly schools in the nation for 2022-2023.

The college was recognized for its commitment to serving those married to active duty, reserve, National Guard and veterans, said a press release from the college.

Approximately 340 schools received the honor this year, and ratings were determined by evaluating public data sources and survey responses.

The results will be published in the July/August issue of Military Spouse Magazine.

Patrick S. Massaro, SUNY Canton's veterans coordinator, oversees outreach efforts to military spouses and connects them with available resources.

SUNY Canton was selected for the military spouse friendly list in part due to its online and other flexible learning options, which are valuable to active duty military spouses who often have to relocate or deploy in 3-4 year increments.

Renowned for its military-friendly culture, SUNY Canton consistently receives recognition for helping service members and veterans reach their educational goals. The college earned gold status on the 2022-2023 military friendly school rankings in March, as well as its highest-ever score in Military Times Magazines' "Best for Vets" issue, ranking third in the nation on the career and technical college list.
