Abstract
We describe the educational character and leadership development processes used by the United States Air Force Academy that
other educational institutions may find useful. Our processes include an integrated educational curriculum designed to complement
and integrate the experiential learning that results in achieving specific organizational outcomes, co-curricular activities
in cadet living, and a specific focus on the ethical development of leaders’ respect for human dignity and cultural competency
as well as the mechanisms to assess and refine our processes.
