Each year, on the last Sunday in April,
Congressman Neal hosts an Academy Day at:
Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee,
Massachusetts to provide young people and their
families with a forum to learn about the Service
Academies and the opportunities available to them.
The United States Military Academy; United States
Naval Academy; United States Air Force Academy;
and the United States Merchant Marine Academy
all send representatives to Academy Day.
In addition to the four service academies that
require Congressional nominations, the United
States Coast Guard Academy; Mass Maritime
Academy; Norwich University; and ROTC
programs all have representatives at Academy Day,
making it a useful resource for anyone interested in
pursuing an academy or military education.
