NOMMA cadet leaders had the privilege of spending time with Rear Admiral Koprowski, gaining valuable insights on leadership, service, and the importance of leading with character. We appreciate his willingness to invest in our cadets and learn more about the outstanding work they are doing at NOMMA.

Thank you, Rear Admiral Koprowski, for an inspiring day and for supporting the development of tomorrow’s leaders today!

Today, NOMMA was honored to welcome RDML Koprowski to spend time with our cadet leadership team. Thank you for sharing words of wisdom on leadership, service, and perseverance while also taking the time to learn about the incredible things our NOMMA cadets accomplish each day.

Cadets also had the unique opportunity to tour the USS Farragut during Sail 250 New Orleans, gaining valuable insight into naval history, leadership, and maritime operations.

Experiences like these continue to inspire and develop tomorrow's leaders today.
