Seminole State College students, employees and community supporters traveled to the Oklahoma State Capitol on March 31 to participate in Higher Education and Oklahoma’s Promise Day. Sponsored by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, the event highlighted the value of public higher education in Oklahoma and celebrated continued legislative support for initiatives such as the Oklahoma’s Promise scholarship.
Seminole State College has been designated a 2026-2027 Military Friendly School by Viqtory, earning Silver Status for its commitment to supporting military-affiliated students. The College was also recognized as a Military Spouse Friendly School for 2026-2027.
The Military Friendly designation honors colleges that meet high standards in student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment and support services tailored to veterans, active-duty servicemembers and their families. SSC’s Silver Status places it among institutions nationwide recognized for outstanding service to military students.
“Seminole State College is proud to serve those who have served our country, as well as the spouses and families who support them,” SSC President Lana Reynolds said. “These recognitions reflect our commitment to creating a welcoming campus and helping active service members and veterans reach their academic and career goals.”
