Ansonia teen to attend West Point summer seminar

ANSONIA - Emmett O'Brien Technical High School junior Sean Coyle will attend the Summer Leaders Experience at the United States Military Academy at West Point in New York later this month.

Coyle, of Ansonia, will be among 1,000 students to have an opportunity to experience life at West Point. 

Attendees live in the Cadet barracks (dormitories), eat in the Cadet Mess, participate in academic, leadership, athletic, and military workshops. 

The one-week seminars are designed to help juniors with their college-selection process, while giving them an idea of the importance of leadership and sound decision-making in their education, careers, and lives in general.

All attendees participate in virtual-reality war simulation, and military and physical fitness training. In addition each student selects three of the 15 offered workshops.

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point is a four-year, coeducational, federally funded undergraduate college located 50 miles north of New York City. 

A preeminent leader development institution, West Point was founded in 1802 as America's first college of engineering. Since then, West Point has grown in size and stature, but remains committed to the task of producing commissioned leaders of character for America's Army.
