The US Air Force Academy invited five Olmsted scholars to attend and participate in the 59th Academy Assembly titled “The Future of Defense Policy”. Throughout the week, this event provided the scholars the opportunity to meet with a wide audience of Air Force cadets to discuss and promote the Olmsted Foundation and to share their unique experiences. Additionally, during Regional Breakout Sessions, labeled “The International Dimensions of Defense Policy: Allies and Adversaries”, the scholars represented the geographical areas where they had either studied or various commands where they currently serve. The scholars wove their personal experiences and professional work into their presentations providing relevancy and context to the discussion. The exceptional opportunity for Olmsted scholars to play an active role in the 59th Academy Assembly is another demonstration of the investment Major General Olmsted made in establishing the Olmsted Foundation.
