Three Earn Spots in Service Academy Summer Programs

Aligned with Faith’s Mission Statement to "Develop Authentic Christian Leaders", third-year Lion Leadership students are already putting it into action through their selection to prestigious Service Academy summer programs.

Jake Survil has been accepted into West Point’s Summer Leadership Experience, where he will spend time on campus gaining firsthand insight into the life of a cadet while participating in rigorous leadership and team-building activities.

Hannah Smeltzer will attend the United States Naval Academy’s Summer Seminar, an immersive program that introduces students to the academic, physical, and professional demands of the Naval Academy, while also offering a glimpse into midshipman life.

Grant Patton has been selected for the United States Air Force Academy Summer Seminar, where he will explore the Academy’s academic programs, leadership training, and the unique opportunities available through service in the Air Force.

These highly competitive programs bring together top students from across the country, and selection is a testament to each student’s character, leadership potential, and dedication. We are proud to see Jake, Hannah, and Grant represent our Faith and our Lion Leadership program on a national stage and look forward to the impact these experiences will have on their future paths.
