Coordinator Helps Veterans Transition to College

For the men and women of the armed services, the transition from military life can sometimes be a challenge. When it comes to their educational pursuits, however, those challenges are mitigated by the strong presence of the Polk State College Veterans Services Office.

As a retired US Army Command Sergeant Major, Byron Loyd, Coordinator of Veterans Services, knows first-hand what it takes for military veterans to pursue a college education. Loyd recognizes the strength veterans display and the unique perspective they provide for the greater collegiate community. For this reason, he has committed his time to ensuring that each student-veteran has the resources and support for success.
