NPS' Fleet Engagement Program at work connecting NPS and the broader naval warfare community.
An NPS student-faculty team had the opportunity to participate in the Surface Navy Association's 5th Annual Waterfront Symposium at Naval Base San Diego. While there, the student team of Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs) talked about their studies and applied research projects with naval leaders, including the “SWO Boss,” Vice Adm. Brendan McLane, Commander Naval Surface Forces (CNSF), who delivered the keynote address and visited the NPS booth. “This trip is part of the Fleet Engagement Program at NPS, and it is a great way to enhance the learning experience of our students and faculty while connecting with the surface community leaders on opportunities for fleet-relevant research,” said U.S. Navy Capt. Jeremy Gray, who serves as the CNSF Surface Warfare Chair at NPS. “Faculty and students who attended had a chance to speak with not just leaders, but visit ships and training facilities on the waterfront, engaging with fleet Sailors to learn more about how NPS research can benefit the Navy and real-world operations,” he continued. “The visit provided a great venue for faculty to learn more about the at-sea experiences of their students and served as an opportunity to engage wardrooms on the great education opportunities available to them in Monterey.” • Learn about the Meyer Scholar program at NPS: https://lnkd.in/g-MF8Hzk US Navy | United States Marine Corps | U.S. Naval Surface Force | Surface Navy Association
