Senator Bill Cassidy and members of the Louisiana Congressional Delegation will be hosting a Service Academy Day event on Saturday, September 24 at the Capitol Park Museum from 8:30 AM to Noon. A flyer with all the necessary information is attached. It will primarily be for students in South Louisiana outside of the New Orleans metropolitan area, but also for students across the state who couldn’t make one of our Service Academy Day events in the spring or became interested in attending an Academy over the summer. Students of any high school grade can attend.
Service Academy Day will feature presentations from all five Service Academies, namely the U.S. Military, Naval, Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine Academies. Those Academies provide graduates bachelor’s degrees and commissioned officer positions in the Armed Forces, and at least three of the Academies are tuition-free. Additionally, there will be presentations from Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC unis attached to local Universities, and a presentation on the Congressional nominations process. To attend most Academies, students are required to obtain a nomination. Afterwards, parents and students will be able to ask questions of the Academy, ROTC and Congressional nominations at their booths.
Service Academy Day is free to attend. People who want to attend should RSVP by emailing myself or one of the people listed on the flyer. Please distribute this information to your students and parents.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
