Printable Fact Sheet
PURPOSE
The Cadet Exemplar Program is an avenue for each Academy class to honor and identify with a past military giant, alive or dead. It is designed to link our nation's rich heritage with our boundless future. As such, the heroes who are chosen epitomize the personal characteristics that each class of cadets seeks to emulate.
The goal of the Cadet Exemplar Program is to build officers with a strong foundation in our nation's and our military's heritage in order to advance into the future as a united aerospace force. Past class exemplars have included Gen. Carl Spaatz, Lt. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, Brig. Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell and Capt. Lance P. Sijan.
The selected class exemplar not only becomes the cadets' honorary class leader, but also the very namesake and identity of that particular class. Throughout the cadets' career, the Exemplar becomes the focal point of inspiration for the cadets as they prepare for their roles as Air Force officers and future leaders.
In short, the Cadet Exemplar Program strives to form unbreakable unity between past leaders and today's future leaders so that the critical values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do will continue to prosper at the Air Force Academy and in the nation as a whole.
GOAL
To build officers with a strong foundation in our country and our military's heritage in order to advance into the future as a united Aerospace Force.
