Naval Academy Summer Seminar
A rewarding opportunity exists this June for 1,800 high school students who
have just completed their junior year when the Office of Admissions hosts the
annual Naval Academy Summer Seminar (NASS) program on the Yard. This annual
program needs the support of Alumni, Blue & Gold Officers and parents to help
spread the word to high school students interested in learning about the Naval
Academy experience.
Held during the first three weeks of June, the Summer Seminar is a challenging
six-day program that affords students the opportunity to experience what it is
like to be a midshipman. The dates for the three sessions in 2005 are session
one, 4-9 June; session two, 11-16 June; and session three, 18-23 June.
Participating in the Summer Seminar program gives students an opportunity to
witness firsthand the moral, mental and physical aspects of the Naval Academy
experience. The students participate in daily physical training on Rip Miller
field, take the Physical Readiness Test, participate in academic workshops such
as character development seminars, martial arts training, drill competition and
complete the week with a challenging eight-hour leadership challenge of Sea
Trials.
"We want the students who attend NASS to fully understand who we are and that
the Naval Academy is a very demanding and challenging place to go to school,"
states Captain Thomas Leahy, USMC, the officer in charge of Summer Seminar.
"The program is designed to assist them to learn about us and the exceptional
opportunities that are available to them as junior officers in the fleet."
The NASS program offers the student participants a clear understanding of the
Naval Academy's mission and what it would be like to attend USNA, but it also
provides valuable leadership opportunities for midshipmen, explains Nelson.
Interested students should apply online at www.usna.edu/Admissions/nass.htm .
The first day to apply was
February 1st and applications will be accepted until April 1st.
