WASHINGTON, D.C. — A college professor from Hutchinson has been named as part of U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran’s 2020 Service Academy Selection Board.
Dr. Robin Jackson is a professor of science and mathematics at Central Christian College. The 20-member board will review applications and interview candidates who are applying for admission to U.S. Service Academies.
“Nominating Kansas students to attend service academies is one of my greatest responsibilities as a United States Senator,” Moran said. “Especially this year, I am proud of these young students for their desire to serve our nation, even as they continue to navigate the challenges of COVID-19. I’m grateful to my Service Academy Selection Board for the thoughtful consideration they put into the application process. These students applying to enter service academies represent Kansas’ best qualities – hard working, dedicated and humble – and I look forward to receiving the selection board’s recommendations and meeting with these students virtually.”
Applications will be reviewed, and selected applicants will be interviewed virtually by the selection board on Saturday, Nov. 14. The U.S. Service Academies include the U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
