Nevada delegation to host academy information session

WASHINGTON - Sens. Harry Reid and Dean Heller and Representatives Joe Heck, Mark Amodei, Dina Titus and Steven Horsford will jointly host this year's academy information session in northern Nevada.

This annual event gives high school sophomores and juniors interested in a military education a chance to ask questions and learn about opportunities available at service academies in the United States. The event is designed to help students learn about the enrollment, nomination and education processes involving the service academies.

 The northern Nevada session will be held Saturday, April 6, at 9 a.m. at Joe Crowley Student Union, Ballroom A, University of Nevada, Reno, North Virginia and 15th Street.

"It has been a pleasure to host the Academy Information events for more than two decades," said Sen. Harry Reid. "There are so many bright and talented young Nevadans who will make the choice to serve their country with honor and courage in elite leadership roles. These events help set these individuals in that direction by helping to learn about the opportunities available to them."

Having family that served in the U.S. Armed Forces, Sen. Heller said it is a privilege to be a part of this event and to recommend our military's future officers.

"Academy Information Day helps young Nevadans interested in a nomination to one of our nation's prestigious service academies take a brave first step that will lead to life changing experiences," he said.
