Greetings!
There's a lot going on at Capitol these days; we're welcoming new faces to campus and getting freshmen settled into their dorms, upperclassman and graduate students are back to their classes. Faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends are all working hard to make this the best year ever for the entire college community! Use this issue of the Connector to mark your calendar for the important events coming up this semester and to join in on the fun (don't forget to wear your Capitol gear!)

 Military Friendly
School
For the second year in a row, Capitol was named a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs magazine,
announced by the release of the publication's 2011 list of Military Friendly Schools. The list honors the top colleges, universities and higher
education institutions which are doing the most to embrace America's
veterans as students. Originating as a radio engineering institute offering
courses for Navy personnel in 1927, Capitol
College has a long, proud
history of educating active and former members of the armed forces. Participating
in the Yellow Ribbon Program and Montgomery GI Bill are just two examples of the many ways Capitol is military-friendly.
