NEWS RELEASE -- The University of West Florida was named among the 2014 “Best of the Best” lists by U.S. Veterans Magazine.

UWF was recognized in the category of “Top Veteran-Friendly Schools,” among other competitive institutions in the United States.

U.S. Veterans Magazine polled hundreds of Fortune 1,000 companies to determine this year’s Best of the Best evaluation. DiversityComm, U.S. Veterans Magazine publisher, had agents and/or affiliates compile categorized lists from market research, independent research, diversity conference participation and survey responses.
