c.
The Coast Guard Academy has traditionally been successful in attracting applicants.
However, our nation's changing demographics indicate the number of high school
graduates is declining. Thus, competition among colleges and universities for the
dwindling pool of qualified applicants is keen.
d.
The success of the Coast Guard in the near and distant future is dependent on our
success today in attracting highly qualified minority and women students. Prospec-
tive cadets must be given guidance/instruction in Coast Guard Academy admissions
procedures, cadet life, and Coast Guard career opportunities.
e.
The Coast Guard Academy Information Program is dependent upon the services of
Active duty and Reserve officers, as well as Auxiliarists who volunteer to become
Academy Information Officers (AIO's). To be designated as an AIO, an individual
must attend an orientation seminar sponsored by the Coast Guard Academy. During
training, officers are briefed on Academy admission standards and procedures, the
Academy curriculum, the Academy's recruit- ing programs, and target organizations
(e.g., Urban League, League of United Latin American Citizens, Kiwanis, etc.).
f.
Individuals interested in participating in the AIP should contact the Coast Guard
Academy Associate Director of Admissions.
