Imbedded Journalist to Speak to the Battalion

On March 25th, journalist and Adjunct Law Professor Willy Stern will be speaking to the Midshipmen at the Battalion about his experiences as an imbedded journalist in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr. Stern holds an undergraduate degree from Williams College and an MPA from Harvard University. He has been a staff writer at publications around the globe, including Business Week, Forbes, and, most recently, The Nashville Scene. His exhaustive investigations of airplane safety, police corruption and crooked charities have won numerous national journalism awards. Professor Stern’s op-eds and analyses have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Chicago Tribune and The New Republic, to name a few. At Vanderbilt Law School, Professor Stern teaches Methods and Ethics of Information Gathering. We thank him in advance for taking the time to share his experience with our Battalion!

Sad News

One of our 2003 graduates, LT Allison Oubre, flying Navy Helicopters, was killed this summer in San Diego in a helicopter crash. We are working on several programs to recognize her service, at Homecoming, and with a special recognition award as well. A classmate of hers, Lt Alvord, arranged for a memorial bench to be placed on campus. Cost of this memorial is estimated at around $5,000 and donations can be sent to the following address (checks should be made out to "Allison Oubre Memorial Fund")
