CGSC student forum addresses gender issues

The CGSC Student Forum “Leading in the Military: Gender and Success,” was conducted April 29 at Fort Leavenworth’s Lewis and Clark Center. The forum was conceived and coordinated by CGSC students headed by Maj. Therese Kreutzberg. Kreutzberg, opening the event, told participants the forum was intended to open the dialog on this important topic.
