Good Morning Folks,

For those considering applying to the West Point Class of 2014, the 2009 Summer Leaders Seminar (SLS) will provide you a superb opportunity to visit the campus and get a taste of the many education and leadership opportunities provided cadets.

Our son attended SLS during June 2008 and absolutely loved it. It was the deciding factor in his wanting to attend the USMA over the USNA and Army/Navy ROTC, and motivated him to aggressively proceed last summer with his WP application. He was extremely impressed with the maturity of the cadets leading SLS, and made several friends from across the country that he’s kept in touch with since attending.

We made a mini family vacation out of the visit which provided us an excellent opportunity to see the campus when we dropped-off our son. For any parents that haven’t toured the campus, here’s your chance. The SLS graduation ceremony is quite impressive and will provide parents a glance at a little military pomp and circumstance, complete with the West Point Band. In summary, it was an unforgettable experience for our son and us, and hat’s off to those that ran the program.

Merry Christmas,
