Why are there civilian faculty members at a Military Academy?
The second word of the USMA mission statement is “educate.” The USMA faculty is a professional team dedicated to cadet education. Our civilian faculty members are the professional educators who form the core expertise and continuity of this mission. They also provide a model for cadets of dedicated civilian service to the Nation and the exceptionally high ethical, professional, and personal standards of the worldwide community of educators and scholars. Our civilian faculty members are every as much a part of the Army as our military ones. Working side-by-side with a wide range of wonderful, talented people – civilian and military – is one of the best aspects of a military faculty tour.
