Chattahoochee Technical College has established a Green Zone initiative to support student veterans by helping to create awareness of/education about military culture and those service members trying to transition into civilian and college life.

The purpose of the Green Zone Program is to serve our veterans and veteran family members enrolled at Chattahoochee Technical College as they have served and supported us in defending our country and our freedom, said CTC Communication and Veteran Services Coordinator, Barry Munday.

While the term Green Zone describes a safe and secure place, Munday said, Its more about the people providing support to student veterans rather than a physical location. The college currently has 89 faculty and staff members among its eight campuses who have completed the training and are certified as Green Zone Participants.

Faculty and staff who are knowledgeable on the issues faced by student veterans and their families, as well as the resources available to assist them, are identified by a Green Zone emblem outside of their office door and/or on their syllabus.
