On August 5, the U.S. Naval War College (NWC) held its 17th annual faculty cloister, where more than 300 faculty members from the college’s in-resident and distance education programs were recognized for their professional achievements.
The ceremony, which began with an address by Rear Adm. Pete Garvin, president of NWC, included the presentation of professional awards to recognize superior achievements in teaching and research related to specific disciplines.
“Our curriculum and faculty ensure our graduates are not only scholars but also critical thinkers, strategists, and warriors,” Garvin stated. “We provide leaders the education necessary to out-think, out-decide, and out-fight any adversary.”
Several additional awards were also given to recognize the contributions of faculty members to the college’s mission of providing excellence in education, research, and outreach.
The efforts of faculty members are the principal means through which NWC fulfills its missions, functions, and tasks,” said Dr. Stephen Mariano, provost at NWC. “In addition to teaching classes, NWC faculty conduct cutting-edge research on current and future warfighting trends; provide advice and assistance to fleet and joint leaders; design and facilitate wargames which help shape defense plans and policies for various commands and agencies; write warfighting manuals recommending best practices and procedures for Navy, joint, and interagency practitioners; plan and host academic conferences, symposia, and forums to bring together the foremost experts in national security and defense related topics; and much more.”
NWC is the oldest institution of its kind in the world, and its programs offer a wide range of academic and professional opportunities that prepare students for leadership and decision-making roles in the Navy and beyond.
