Warrior University

• Adult Education

The “Warrior University” is a new educational initiative designed to help 2nd Infantry Division Soldiers pursue higher learning and earn college degrees, and was launched January 15, 2010. The program relieves Soldiers from other duties between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays to attend college classes.

Soldiers are encouraged to embrace the opportunity and leaders are directed to support the program.

Visit the Web site at the GoArmyEd website or drop by the education center at Camp Casey, Camp Red Cloud, Camp Stanley, Yongsan Garrison or Camp Humphreys and ask about Warrior University opportunities. A counselor will discuss financial aid issues, answer any relevant academic questions and help you get started!
