  '82 and '98 on silencing and leadership in 2026

  Aug 16, 20261h 6mS4

  So back in March, we did a class of '98 (part 2) episode with Jen Salisbury, Sarah Rollings, and Susanne Weinrich. But Jen's answer to one of the questions we asked was removed in the published version of the podcast. So now, safely past the events of the 50th, we revisit Jen's comment, current events, silencing, and diverse and inclusive leadership (yes, we said those words aloud). Please join us - Jeannette, Shannon, Misty, Sarah, Susanne, and Jen from '98, and Postie from '82. Also, please note that we are each here in our personal capacity. The views and opinions that were expressed in this podcast and notes are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the organizations they belong to.

  The Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress with Ms. Monica Mohindra

  Jul 18, 202654 minS4

  Earlier this spring, SOMB got connected with the Veterans History Project (VHP) at the Library of Congress (LOC) and had the opportunity to meet and speak with the VHP director, Monica Mohindra, and tour the VHP space and the LOC. And that's when we learned that the VHP needs more stories from women veterans. Of course, we agree - there should be more stories out there from women who have served, including women from USNA. Please join us to hear Monica speak with Jeannette about the VHP, what it does, and some of the stories that have stuck with her over the years. And please consider contributing your story to the VHP -- Jeannette and Chris (also '98) plan to do so in August. If you're interested in learning more, please take a look at these sites - you can find some of the stories Monica shared (Jamie Fox, George Pearcy, Robert Augur, and many more) https://www.loc.gov/programs/veterans-history-project/about-this-program/ https://www.facebook.com/vetshistoryproject https://blogs.loc.gov/folklife/category/veterans-history-project/ https://www.loc.gov/item/afc2001001.101245/ Monica, thank you so much for joining us for the discussion and for all that you do! And women (and all alums) from USNA -- please go share your story! Everyone has a story to share, and our stories are important.

  Jun 21, 202649 minS4

  Please join us to meet and learn from Erin (Deeds) Beaty '00! Erin doesn't sit still well, as we've learned - from majoring in Aero (Astro track) at USNA, to serving as a SWO (and managing the stress of being a new parent with being a JO on her first ship), to being a published author (of FIVE books), to managing a family with five kids and an active duty Navy husband, to working her way through an accelerated track in nursing school (to graduate in 2027). We're thrilled to get to meet and talk with Erin in this post-50th episode - Erin, thank you so much for joining us during what sounds like an incredibly busy time! (And if you're interested, she has a "Meet the Author" site -- https://www.erinbeaty.com/copy-of-about - take a look at some of her books. We get to talk with the coolest people.) Thank you as well to the USNA Women's Glee Club for lending us your voices for the podcast.

  May 24, 202647 minS4

  <p>Beware - some strong feelings here. All of the feelings. About two weeks after the 50th events, Kate, Shannon, and Jeannette met up to talk through their complex feelings and thoughts in the aftermath of that meaningful and wonderful weekend...including both how we feel about the Academy's silence around the 50th anniversary and how amazing it was to have the support of the broader alumni community and the Alumni Association and Foundation.</p> <p>Please join us. </p>
