Parent's Weekend 2009

pw2009

Welcome to the Association of Graduates Website
for Western Massachusetts and Connecticut
Our purpose is to provide cadets and their families with encouragement and support. Meetings give parents a chance to share their experiences with others. Many questions arise about the cadet life and the challenges they face. The USAFA Parent's Association helps to find the answers for our membership that will assist cadets during the transition from home life to military life. Should assistance be needed by a Cadet or a Cadet’s family, the club is ready to lend a hand.

We also provide information and encouragement to parents of prospective cadets. Our club tries to promote a better understanding of the USAF Academy and USAF to prospective cadets, the parents, our schools and community.
