-: My name's Keith Hauk.
I'm the Associate Vice President
for Veterans Initiatives and Military Support at UMUC.
So what that means is
everything that we do in terms of
non-academic programmatic support for veterans.
Everything from assistance in terms of mentoring,
assistance in terms of things
that support their academic pursuit,
as well as, certification of their VA benefits.
I'm responsible for all that.
And then on the military side,
what I do is all of the programs that we have
that interface with service portal systems,
military service portal systems,
that allow access to tuition assistance funding.
I manage all of that.
And then we're also
a member of it's Servicemen's Opportunity Colleges
that provides guaranteed transferability
between institutions.
I have a team that helps manage that process for us
as well with support service members.
