Superintendent's Notes

"The US Military Academy is committed to sustaining excellence through our Army values, in our three pillars—military development, academics, and athletics—and in our people. We are also committed to adaptation and change so that we remain relevant and mission focused. Adaptation and change are benchmarks of any first tier institution. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus noted this in 500 BC when he stated that 'Nothing endures but change.' At USMA, change is a constant, with major efforts today in improving our infrastructure, and in advancing the developmental responsibilities of our cadets to prepare them to be leaders of character. Teaching our cadets to understand and manage change is an important goal here, essential to their future success in the volatile uncertain, complex and ambiguous contemporary operating environment."
