Senator Stabenow Nominates Eight Students from Genesee County and the Great Lakes Bay Region to Military Academies

LANSING — U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) announced today that she has nominated eight students from Genesee County and the Great Lakes Bay Region for admission at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO, and the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY.

“Michigan is fortunate to have so many exceptional students who want to serve our country through military service,” said Senator Stabenow. “Having demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence in and out of the classroom, I am confident they will represent Michigan and our country well.”

Students seeking appointment to a service academy must first obtain the nomination of their U.S. Senator, their U.S. Representative or the Vice President. Students nominated by Senator Stabenow’s office went through a highly competitive application process that included interviews by veteran, military and community leaders. Now that the students have been nominated, they must await acceptance for admission by the academy to which they have applied.  

The following students from Genesee County and the Great Lakes Bay Region have been nominated by Senator Stabenow to a service academy:

Andrew Delzer – Naval, Genesee
