Lieutenant Hans Govertsen ’97

"You can't learn in a book what you learn at the Coast Guard Academy. You gain incredible life experiences" many of which are not available at other colleges. At the Coast Guard Academy not only do you receive all-around training and a great education, but also you develop camaraderie and life-long friendships. You surround yourself with nothing but quality."
