Education is gaining more and more interest everyday in the military community, and Northeast is proud to provide for those who have provided us with a sense of freedom and safety.

James McAllister, Business, Battle Creek, a member of the United States Army, said that his military experience has affected his experience as a student by allowing him to adapt to new situations.
