ABSTRACT

The mission of West Point is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the nation as an officer in the United States Army. The faculty and staff must be dedicated to building these leaders today, knowing that the return on this investment may come decades into the future. The junior faculty is the largest group of faculty members at United States Military Academy (USMA). The emphasis on cadet mentorship is one of the defining characteristics of the USMA faculty. The United States Corps of Cadets brings together a diverse set of approximately 4,529 young men and women from all over the world united in their desire to be the Army’s next generation of leaders.
