University of Wisconsin Appoints Ombuds for Veterans

The University of Wisconsin, Madison, has appointed a new assistant dean for veterans and ombuds service. Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. John Bechtol, former director of UW’s ROTC, was hired to fill this new position, which was created for the 592 currently enrolled and growing number of veterans. “My job is dealing and being a single point of contact not with just current veterans, but folks coming off of active duty, service folks who have served in the Guard, and those who have served previously,” Bechtol said.
