WPAOG Parent Handbook 2018-19

3 Dear Parents, Congratulations and welcome to the West Point family! At the U.S. Military Academy, the Corps of Cadets receives a top-tier education, includingmilitary and physical training, but at the heart of everything we do is developing leaders of character. We are privileged to work with your sons and daughters during their 47 months at West Point as they strengthen the moral-ethical attributes essential to great leadership skills that are vital for success as Officers in our Army. Since 1802, West Point has produced graduates who have contributed significantly to American growth and security. It is often said, “Much of the history we teach was made by people we taught.” Our prestigious Academic Programprovides a world-class education through our curriculum, faculty, and resources. The Commandant’s Corner is a way to provide information about current cadet activities, important leadership topics, and other information about the Corps of Cadets. You have many opportunities to support your sons and daughters while they attend West Point. Please visit our parent website at usma.edu/parents where you can also find social media resources. Our USMA Parent Communications Liaison, Debra Dalton, and your local West Point Parents Club are also great sources of information. On behalf of the staff and faculty of the Academy, thank you for your support as your sons and daughters prepare for future roles as leaders for our Army. West Point for Thee! Cindy R. Jebb ’82 Brigadier General, US Army 14th Dean of the Academic Board Steve Gilland ’90 Brigadier General, US Army 77th Commandant of Cadets
