USAFA, Colo. - The Air Force lacrosse team participated in a Mission Partner event last week, as the three integral mission elements of the Academy joined for a cookout hosted by the Commandant of Cadets, Brig. Gen. Richard Clark. The Mission Partner program is a new USAFA initiative designed to bring together elements from three pillars of Academy life--academics, athletics and military.
Joining the Falcons' lacrosse team were Cadet Squadron 28, representing the military mission element, and the management department, representing the academic mission element. The event emphasized the mutual support of each element, a necessity in accomplishing USAFA's mission to "educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation."
"We are excited and proud to join with CS-28 and the Management Department in this new program," said head lacrosse coach Eric Seremet. "We hope this partnership will help to enhance the relationships between our players and the fellow cadets with whom they will one day graduate and serve side by side. It is this sort of initiative that reinforces the importance of the teamwork needed to be successful in the military and beyond."
