  • Student-led Initiative

    This is a superb podcast for anyone interested in the nexus between emerging technology, the key issues confronting the DoD, and the people that make up NPS. If you are a prospective student planning to come to NPS, a current student interested in what is happening around campus, or an alum, this podcast is a great opportunity to learn more about your institution. If you are outside the NPS family, it will give you a peek behind the curtain at this incredible institution.
