Army's Senior Executives Engage the Civilian Education System

[The Patriot]

The SES Engagement Program provides senior executives four occasions to directly interface with CES Advanced Course students during their specific week: participation, mentoring, open forums, and graduation. In participation, they spend the bulk of their week in seminar rooms with the students, sharing in the learning events, contributing to discussion sessions, and receiving small group presentations. Regarding mentoring, they provide students opportunities for individual coaching and career advisory appointments. Open discussion forums involve a weekly brown bag luncheon open to all Advanced Course students to discuss a variety of Army leadership topics in an informal setting. And, finally, the senior executive participating in the fourth and final week of the course traditionally serves as the guest speaker for the graduation ceremony.
