Dear Guidance Counselor,

 

The traditional rivalry football game between Army and Navy will be played on Saturday 11 December at Met Life Stadium as part of the 20 year anniversary of 9/11.  

 

As part of the festivities, West Point Admissions and the NJ Field Force ( local organization for admissions to West Point ) will host an information session on 10 December about the opportunities at West Point and will provide the roadmap to admissions. Captain Richard Simpson, the North East Regional Commander, and Henry Schwartzstein, a 1971 graduate and Chief of Staff of the NJ Field Force will provide the opportunities briefing and I will provide the details to the roadmap to admissions.

 

A Cadet Panel comprised of outstanding NJ Cadets will share their experiences, answer questions and will be available to talk to potential candidates. The NJ Field Force will also be available to answer all questions.

 

The event will be held at Seton Hall University ( South Orange NJ ) in JUBILEE HALL starting at 7pm and will continue to at least 9pm. We will not leave until every question is answered.

 

Please forward this email and the attachment to any interested student. The attachment provides more detail as to the subject matter to be presented. The attachment also provides the RSVP link!

Thank you for your time and for your dedication to NJ’s best resource that is our young people!
