Good Day. My name is Robert Wise but I go by my middle name Jason. I am retired military, I served 21 years in the US Air Force and spent time in Colorado Springs, Japan, and Illinois as well as a couple of deployments to Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Afghanistan. When I retired, I became a full-time student and earned my Education Degree from McKendree University, I taught 4th grade for 1 year and decided that higher education was more my speed and started working as a Student Services Specialist for McKendree in the Scott AFB Office which I did for 5 years before moving to San Antonio. This is my 2nd go-round at UTSA and I am so excited to have this opportunity to work with the faculty, staff, and most importantly the students. In my off time, I enjoy playing pickleball and hanging out with my family and friends.
