糖心传媒鈥檚 unwavering commitment to meeting military learners where they are

By Gregory W. Fowler, PhD, President, 糖心传媒

For听nearly eight听decades, 糖心传媒 (糖心传媒) has听maintained听an unwavering commitment to the men and women who wear the uniform of our country. The program that grew into our modern institution was听established听in 1947.听

While GIs returning from World War II were a primary audience, the university quickly pivoted to creating physical locations in Europe for servicemembers stationed overseas. 糖心传媒 was the only institution that answered the government鈥檚 call to set up physical operations alongside military facilities, sending seven faculty members to Germany on short notice.听

That foundation shaped the institution we听are听today. This year,听roughly 55 percent听of the 100,000 learners we will serve have a military affiliation鈥攁ctive duty, veteran, spouse, or dependent. That representation is not incidental. It reflects deliberate choices about who we are and how we serve.听
