DEP remembers when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was West Point’s Zengerle Family Lecturer. She was a role model for future leaders as she fought bravely to right inequities and to guide our nation toward realizing the promise of the Constitution. As we mourn her loss, we celebrate her life and accomplishments. https://youtu.be/6qw9fHqVUdY

LTC Andrew Marsh's EN102 class recently had a chance to talk to international best-selling author and screenwriter Ernest Cline about his novel "Ready Player One." While discussing the novel, cadets and Mr. Cline had an opportunity to explore the intersection of identity and leadership as it pertains to technology and the constantly shifting world we find ourselves in. Mr. Cline also provided a tour of his DeLorean and large collection of classic memorabilia and discussed the evolution of a story that began as a dream and eventually formed into an international bestselling book and an Academy nominated film.
