From Mr. Patrick Sleem, local President of the West Point Society of Fort Benning and Columbus:

The application window for the United States Military Academy's Summer Leadership Seminar (SLS) is open now and will remain open until April 1st.  I wanted to let you know about this because since West Point uses a "rolling acceptance" method for this program, those who apply early have a better chance of being invited to this week-long leadership seminar.  I know you've seen the flyer for this that we mailed to you; additional details may be found at http://admissions.usma.edu/.  Interested students can actually apply for this program online, with no obligation to accept an invitation if they decide it is not for them.  Please share this web site with your students so that they can decide whether the program interests them at all.  Finally, if you have any questions or concerns, we are here to help. 

You can contact our Cadet Candidate Recruiting Team leader, Lance Hoffman, via e-mail at lwhoffman@firstcommand.com or phone at 706-323-9980. 

Another great person on our team is Frank Kolar.  He is a USMA '75 graduate and his credentials are substantial. Frank can be reached for questions at (706) 545-5886 or via e-mail at frank.kolar@us.army.mil.  Finally, please visit our local West Point Society web site [http://www.west-point.org/society/wps-columbusga] if you need any additional contact information.
