Members of the UMBC SSMVF greeted prospective students and future Retrievers at the Retriever Day event at the RAC. We talked with quite a few high school students interested in both UMBC and the role of SSMVF on campus. We also talked with several parents with military ties who are looking forward to their kids using GI Bill benefits to help pay for college, and we met two Veterans who plan to pursue their degrees now that they are separated from military service. I think at least one was motivated enough by our presence that UMBC was now a more likely selection among prospective colleges. Since UMBC has no significant outreach to the vast prospective military service member and Veteran population in the Mid-Atlantic region, we were happy to help out.
