El Dorado, KAN. (April 1, 2025) - Butler Community College is pleased to announce it has been awarded the 2025-2026 Silver Military Friendly® School designation. The announcement comes as Butler and McConnell Air Force Base prepare to celebrate their 50-year partnership with a special event later this month.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2025-2026 survey with 830 earning special awards for going above the standard.

 “This recognition is immensely valuable to Butler Community College, as it underscores our dedication and efforts in serving the military community,” said Erika Gestring, Director of Butler’s McConnell Campus and Service Center. “We deeply appreciate the service members' commitment to our country and express our gratitude by understanding and accommodating their unique needs, while supporting them in achieving their educational aspirations,” Gestring said.
