Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC) conducts a number of regional College Workshops for member institutions each year. The SOC College Workshops have two primary goals. One is to bring college representatives up to date on service-specific SOC programs. The second is to highlight ways colleges can use all SOC programs to recruit and retain students in a military market consisting of active-duty servicemembers, reserve component members, and veterans. See below for more information.
