Service Academy Day is March 12

Idaho’s congressional delegation has announced another year of Service Academy Day learning sessions across Idaho. Beginning in March, these conferences offer students, parents, and counselors the space to meet with members of U.S. military service academies and provide an opportunity for questions. Staff from Sen. Mike Crapo, Sen. James Risch, Congressman Mike Simpson, and Congressman Russ Fulcher’s respective offices will be on hand to answer questions about the application process for students who are seeking more information on the nomination process.

Similar to last year’s events, five service academies will be represented, including the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. While a congressional nomination is not necessary to attend the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, representatives will also be in attendance.

In North Idaho, Service Academy Day learning session will take place March 12, 6-8 p.m. at North Idaho College’s Edminster Student Union Building, 495 College Drive, Coeur d’Alene.

Students who wish to learn more about applying for a military academy nomination, but are unable to attend one of the Academy Day events, are invited to contact any of the following academy nomination coordinators for more information: Sen. Mike Crapo — Karen Roetter, 208-664-5490; Sen. Jim Risch — Frances Hasenoehrl, 208-743-0792; Congressman Mike Simpson — Craig Quarterman, 208-334-1953; or Congressman Russ Fulcher — Tori Shockey, 208-888-3188.
