We would like to thank The Poly and Nicole Morroni for covering the story about students attending the United States Naval Academy Leadership Conference in September. We appreciate you taking the time to interview us and for writing such an advantageous article for publication.

We would like to acknowledge that in addition to our group of Professional Leadership Program (PLP) students, five ROTC students under the leadership of Air Force Captain Kerry Strait also attended the conference.

The trip was especially significant because of this military-civilian student collaboration. We were given the opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss best-practice leadership, and together represent RPI. We want to thank Cadet Ben Wolfe (Air Force ROTC), Cadet Jesse White (Air Force ROTC), Cadet Jack Miller (Army ROTC), Midshipman Katie Lunser (Navy ROTC), and Midshipman Marc Salvia (Navy ROTC) for joining us at the USNA conference. We learned so much from you!
