Starting an Alpha Sigma Lambda (ASLHS) chapter on a campus can offer several benefits for both the institution and its non-traditional student population. Here are a few key reasons: *Recognition of Academic Excellence: Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society honors high academic achievement among adult learners, providing recognition and encouragement for their hard work and dedication. *Enhanced Student Engagement: An ASLHS chapter can increase engagement among non-traditional students by offering a sense of community and belonging. *Institutional Prestige: Establishing an ASLHS chapter can enhance the institution's reputation by demonstrating a commitment to supporting diverse student populations. *Scholarship Opportunities: ASLHS offers scholarships each year, which can help alleviate financial burdens and support their educational goals. *Support Network: It creates a support network for adult learners who often balance education with work, family, and other responsibilities.

This is truly heartbreaking news, given that American democracy is in dire need of organizations like the Junior State of America (JSA). JSA not only gave me a transformative sense of purpose and community but also taught me about true statesmanship and the pillars of a healthy democracy— that is, civil and free discourse, civic engagement and representation that is inclusive of all swaths of society, and civic education for future generations of leaders, both in the US and abroad. From attending the 2012 Moctezuma Leadership Summit and the summer programs at Stanford (2011), Princeton (2012), Davis (2012), and Georgetown (2013) to serving as NorCal JSA's Expansion Director and Chapter President of American Indian Public High School's JSA chapter (among other roles), I was heavily involved in JSA. And, naturally, JSA had a significant impact on the trajectory of my own life. It was at a JSA year-round conference that I learned about the existence of my alma mater, Claremont McKenna College, and was encouraged to apply. It was through JSA that I developed my passion for public service and intercultural exchange, leading me to intern for Congresswoman Barbara Lee and become a Top 2 Finalist for Oakland's Public Ethics Commission last December. And, just as important, it was at these countless JSA programs and conferences that I gained cherished memories and forged invaluable friendships (some of whom I still stay in touch with today). It is my hope that the JSA Governors' efforts to reinvent the organization succeed. As the U.S.A. marches forward in the face of polarization, I pray that this vacuum in youth civic education is filled by the leadership and example of those of us who benefitted immensely from programs like JSA. #JSA #bethepeople #statesmenship #democracy #youth #civicengagement #juniorstateofamerica

My phone blew up today with news of Junior State of America (JSA) winding down after 90 years. For a '90s high school student, JSA was formative (I was a Mayor, a Lt. Governor, and went to Georgetown & Montezuma). What made JSA special? 1?? ?? ?? Diversity of people & ideas. NJ high school was ... beige, racially and intellectually. At JSA, kids (and their parents) came from all over the place, with ideas which were all over the place. The most diverse environment I experienced until - a decade later - HBS. 2?? ?? Travel. ?? DC, ?? NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco. Without parents, and cell phones! Opened up new worlds for me. 3?? ?? Speaking and Conflict. Once upon a time I didn't like public speaking (I know, hard to believe). JSA's approach to debate taught not just public speaking & opposing ideas in public, but also building friendships & leaving public conflict behind when the debate was done. Unique in today's world. 4?? ?? Paperwork. Hear me out. JSA had a lot of paperwork -- Resolutions. Agendas. Membership rolls, all with minimal computers. Effectively navigating bureaucracy is perhaps the defining skill of adulting. Without even realizing it, I learned to do that in JSA. 5?? ?? Friends & ?? Leaders. JSA alums of that era became lawyers, business leaders, political leaders, social justice activists, and even rabbis. Several married each other. People like Israel "Izzy" Klein, Cindy Chen, Rachel Derkits-Gelman, and Abby Gordon still influence how I think about friendship, politics, and even parenting today. JSA's moment may have passed. No doubt other groups will fill these roles for the post-COVID high school generation. But it will be missed.

This morning I'm working on a "just in time session" for our ? faculty for Operation Allied Force. This is such an interesting conflict for the following reasons: 1) Airpower did not win OAF by itself.?As in most conflicts, the larger DIME was critical to achieving political objectives. Also, to claim airpower was the only domain used ignores the cyber and space domains and even sea power 2) Airpower arguably worked better in the strategic attack role than it did in the counterland role due to a number of factors, including geography and the humanitarian crisis in Kosovo not being best resolved using airpower 3) OAF was a return to gradualism a la Operation Rolling Thunder. That may not be the textbook/ideal application of airpower. But when your strategic center of gravity is an alliance, that may be the best way for that particular operation. It also raises two great questions: 4) To what extent do ODS and OAF offer a break from traditional “strategic bombardment” thinking, as Mark Conversino argues here: https://lnkd.in/eA3pJz9m 5) How should one employ strategic attack against a peer opponent with nuclear weapons? Should strategic attack even be on the table? To what extent does Russia’s war in Ukraine offer any clues? To what extent should those clues be applied to other potential opponents? #airpower #USAF
