Academic experience at Saint Michael's College help prepare you for your career: My liberal arts education, and the diverse viewpoints and experiences of my professors, greatly assisted me in becoming a successful Army professional and life-long learner, achieving multiple graduate degrees that afforded me broader opportunities to serve our Nation.

Completed or are completing a graduate program, please provide the name of the degree and institution: MSc International Relations (Troy State), MA History (USACGSC), MSc Strategic Studies (US Army War College).
Other information you would like to share or advice for incoming or current students: Take in as many of the programs and offerings the school has on offer as you never know what will "stick" but be wary of thin-slicing yourself and your time too much!
