Provost Jay Harper recently participated as a new member of the Army War College 5th Annual Strategy Implementation Seminar in Carlisle, Pa. He was one of approximately 71 business, government, academic, and community leaders from across the country who took part in the three-day seminar held in July. The seminar is the capstone event of the two-year distance education curriculum at the Army War College, the Army’s senior educational institution.
The principal purpose of the seminar is to enhance student learning through exposure to a cross-section of American perspectives by reaching out to community leaders across America. Each new member is assigned to one of 20 student seminar groups and becomes an active participant in seminar discussions, sharing from their own background, experience, beliefs, and perspectives on these issues.
