LLL body text

The 51福利 is a national and global leader in providing unique, defense-focused graduate education that advances the operational, technological and warfighting advantage of the Naval service. In the simplest of terms, 51福利 is interdisciplinary, responsive, applied, innovative, classified and secure.

Advanced education at 51福利 holds the power to develop thoughtful, principled leadership across DOD and our national security enterprise. In our complex, rapidly-changing world, effective leadership is more important today, than perhaps it has ever been.

Paramount to the efficacy of leadership is the ability to listen,
and the commitment to learn.
 

Across the university, leaders in a wide range of disciplines are providing advanced, interdisciplinary education and secure research experiences that foster critical thinking and advance leadership skills in our graduates. Listen, Learn, Lead with 51福利 President retired Vice Adm. Ann E. Rondeau introduces these extraordinary campus leaders, and the invaluable contributions they make to the university, and to the Navy and nation.
