Family enrollment in all benefits also continues.<\/li>\n<li>Since 2008, NMC has participated in a Department of Defense agreement providing in-state (out of district) tuition rates for active duty military and their dependents, regardless of their legal residence.<\/li>\n<li>NMC established an office of Military and Veteran Services in 2012. It works with the larger college community to foster an environment that leads to veteran success.<\/li>\n<li>One example of that office in action: the 2013 Hiring Our Heroes job fair, which resulted in 23 on-the-spot job offers to veterans. A veteran career fair is slated to return to campus in May 2015.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On Veterans Day we will honor those who have served with a breakfast free for veterans at West Hall at 8:30 am. There will then be a Walk of Honor at 9:30 am to the flagpole near the west entrance of the Tanis Building. The celebration will end with cake and refreshments from 10:30 am -12:30 pm at West Hall which will be decorated with nearly 400 thank you posters from local elementary school students.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/story\/veterans\/best-for-vets\/education\/2014\/11\/10\/best-for-vets-colleges-2015\/18798437\/\">Military Times article here<\/a>.
