WestPointAOG.org | 800.BE A.GRAD 13 As the Parent Relations Manager at WPAOG, my role is to work closely with cadets, parents, and Parents Clubs to let them know the many ways in whichWPAOG supports current cadets and their families and to help facilitate their participation in our various initiatives. Keeping you well-informed is of utmost importance to WPAOG, and we have a number of resources tomake you aware of what is happening at the Academy and in the lives of our cadets and alumni. Of specific interest to families is this Parent Handbook, which is a great resource to help you better understand the Academy and to plan for the upcoming year. One of the key roles WPAOG fulfills is serving as the fundraising armof the Academy. In fact, one of the ways in which we engage with and support current cadets is by raising private funds to support Margin of Excellence programs that offer valuable experiences to our cadets beyond the classroom and often beyond the walls of West Point. The West Point Parents Fund allows parents of our cadets to support these often life-changing experiences. These helpmake West Point a top college and the world’s premier leadership development institution. Please remember to fill out our data form so that I can better serve you throughout your family’s 47-monthWest Point experience and beyond! I amhere to answer your questions, support your Parents Club activities, and through the West Point Parents Fund , helpmake your cadet’s experience at the Academy all that it can be. You can contact me directly at 845.446.1535 or at parentrelations@wpaog.org . I look forward to greeting you in person and working with you throughout the coming years!
