Florida College Fair

Florida College FairThe Florida College Fair on was held on Saturday 23 February 2013. Representing Admissions at the Fair were Jim Wartski ’82, Mike Ulekowski ’75, Sean Morgan ’92, and Jay Carmona (Admissions Department volunteer). The interest in West Point amongst the high school students was at an all-time high. In today’s competitive world for getting the finest student-athletes, West Point was a top attraction at the Fair. The lines to talk to USMA Admissions Representatives seemed to be never-ending, often enough backing up three-deep. Much appreciation to the Admissions Field Force that volunteer their time and efforts to promote the values of West Point and strengthen our alma-mater. If interested in supporting local college shows and assist candidates in the application process, please contact Jim Wartski locally or the Directorate of Admissions. The alumni can be the strongest asset a candidate can seek to answer questions about life as a West Pointer. Remember as is said in Admissions, “The Corps starts here”. Go Army!

Cadet System Engineering Group Is In Town

The West Point Systems Engineering Cadet Club and their OIC (Major Isaac Faber) visited Central Florida over the January MLK Birthday Weekend. The cadets had a great experience that was assisted by the help of our society. They visited Disney Quest at Downtown Disney, a Day at Sea World, Lockheed Martin IS, and the Jet Blue Training Facility just to name a few.  Potential candidates, cadets, and alumni attended a dinner Saturday January 19th. The Department Head arrived as well which surprised the cadets since he was not on the trip section. The pictures have the cadets, Mike (owner of Giovanni's), Jim Wartski '82 (WPS-CF President), Jim Pappafotis '78 (WPS-CF VP), and Tom Walker '62 (Former WPS-CF VP). Tom's wife Mary Jean grew up just outside of West Point toward NYC. It was a surprise to hear that Mike (restaurant owner) grew up in the same town and visited West Point often as a child. The evening was filled with good friends, good relations, and good food. (Click On Pictures To View).
