Visiting Faculty Program

The purpose of the Visiting Faculty Program is to supplement the Air Force Academy faculty by providing visiting civilian educators from institutions of higher education.  These civilian educators bring a vital expertise to the Air Force and take back to their permanent positions a broadened awareness of the Air Force Academy environment.  In the process, these educators enhance their own professional development.
