My Gift to the NWC in memory of Dr. Bundy

In Memoriam: Dr. William Bundy The Naval War College community lost a dear friend and devoted patriot when Dr. William Bundy passed away last December. A Naval submariner and a member of the Centennial Seven - one of the first seven African Americans to command a submarine in the first 100 years of the nation’s submarine force - Dr. Bundy brought his military, engineering and leadership expertise to his role as Associate Provost at the NWC. Dr. Bundy was a friend of the Foundation, most recently presenting at our November Newport Lecture Series on th e Fourth Technological Age and the Future of Warfare . The incredible turnout at this lecture was a testament to his exceptional reputation. The NWC will honor Dr. Bundy's legacy by naming the third deck atrium of McCarty Little Hall after him. McCarty Little is home to the Center for Naval Warfare Studies (CNWS) where some of the Nation's most advanced strategic and operational research and war games are conducted. To make a memorial gift to the Naval War College in honor of Dr. Bundy and his efforts to advance innovation research at the NWC and in the broader military community, please click the button on the left. To share a fond memory of your experience with Dr. Bundy that will be published in the Spring issue of The Bridge magazine, please email the Foundation.
