From the Co-Presidents
Hello CPC families!

It's hard to believe the Firsties will be graduating in less than one week! They have been finishing finals and completing Fountain Jumps (see the photos below), and our C2C Cadets are looking forward to Ring Dance this weekend.

As it does every year, the CPC hosts two cadet awards - The Most Valuable Woman Athlete and The Most Valuable Male Soccer Player. We would like to congratulate this years winners:

C1C Cierra Winters = Most Valuable Woman Athlete
C1C Tristan Trager = Most Valuable Male Soccer Player.

These awards will be presented at the USAFA Graduation Awards Ceremony and Athletic Department Awards Ceremony on Monday, 23 May. We are proud to represent Colorado Parents' Club in person at these award ceremonies. Thank you to everyone who purchased Goodie Bags - Goodie Bag sales help fund these awards.

Goodie Bag sales also fund our annual In-Processing Picnic, our signature event. We are just a few short weeks away from welcoming the Class of 2026 and their families. Please volunteer - any amount of time will be greatly appreciated!

Paul and I have truly enjoyed our time involved with our great group of CPC volunteers. Thank you so much for the opportunity to serve in this capacity! We know we are leaving the club in good hands.

- Paul and Kathy Puseman,
Co-Presidents
It is with great pride we would like to recognize and congratulate those Colorado Parents' Club seniors who will be taking their commissioning oaths on Tuesday, 24 May and will graduate from USAFA on 25 May 2922.
