GEN Wayne A. Downing Scholarship Program

Seven active duty officers participating in the West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) GEN Wayne A. Downing Scholarship Program managed by the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) spoke with cadets about their operational and graduate school experiences. Over 40 cadets associated with the CTC’s Irregular Warfare Group, the Department of Social Sciences, and the Department of Strategic Studies attended the Downing engagement, asking the officers about their summer research efforts and their academic experiences in general. The Downing Scholars also provided professional development advice to the cadets.
