2022 Prep School Exemplar Dinner
Every year, the Prep School class chooses someone who exemplifies the type of person they would like to emulate. This year, the class chose Carolyn Benyshek for her character and leadership both in and out of uniform.
The dinner was held within the Falcon Club. Cadet Candidates were treated to a sophisticated meal and live music courtesy of the Air Force Academy Band. Carolyn Benyshek gave a speech and provided words of encouragement for the CCs. After the event, Carolyn Benyshek stayed to talk with the CCs and offer further advice.
