The National Capital Area branch of the West Point Society today will present its seventh annual ethics and leadership conference for area eleventh grade students at the George Mason University Arlington Campus.
Themed “Living an Honorable Life” the event each year aims to provide student delegates with a system for solving and approaching ethical problems.
West Point graduates General John Campbell, the U.S. Army Vice Chief of Staff, and Lieutenant General Robert Caslen, who today serves as the military academy’s superintendent, will provide the event’s keynote speeches.
