Air Force Academy Recognized

The Princeton Review has named the US Air Force Academy one of the nation’s top 50 public colleges for 2009 in terms of value, based on surveys of administrators and students at hundreds of schools. “The Air Force Academy is honored to earn this distinction,” said academy dean Brig. Gen. Dana Born in a USAFA release Jan. 8. She continued, “It is further recognition of the great effort we are making in providing cadets not just with a world-class education, but a full spectrum of learning experiences.” (Link to list; requires free registration.)
