Every Airman & Guardian Has A Story - Pride Month

        As an institution of higher education committed to developing leaders of character, we have a responsibility to demonstrate what it means to treat others with dignity and respect. The faces around here have changed over the years, but our graduates have always inspired others. They have fought bravely in wars, stood on Olympic podiums, served in Congress, and flown in space. Soon we will have the opportunity to be the new faces leading the way. And they will be the most diverse to date.
