Thank you.

Well, uh, good afternoon, uh, Chairman and Representative Pfluger, and the members of the Boards of Visitors, as well as the ladies and gentlemen, uh, attending, uh, virtually from the public.

Uh, my name is General James Valpiani.

Uh, I-- and it's a pleasure to serve here at the Air Force Academy as the Chief Academic Officer.

On this slide are two new phrases since the last time that I had an opportunity to brief you all.

Uh, the first is academic wing, and the other is provost.

Those are unusual, uh, terms here at the Air Force Academy.

I do wanna hand over to, I don't care who goes first, either, uh, either the provost or, or the commandant, to give you some specific examples of what we have already done, what we are currently doing, and what we're planning on doing in the future.
