Colonel Kendra Green to Speak at Alabama A&M

COL Green in her office as Commandant of the US Army Force Management School

US Army Colonel Kendra Green agreed to donate her time and wisdom to speak to Alabama A&M Electrical Engineering students on 17 November 2023 via video conference.

COL Green is currently the Commandant of the US Army Force Management School where she oversees training of Army officers and senior enlisted personnel on how to allocate Army resources - people, real estate, support contracts, weapons systems, vehicles, EVERYTHING! - to adequately support all aspects of the world’s #1 ground combat force’s enterprise. Like she has done in the past, her students will go on to inform top appointed Civilian and General Officers on force management to support their programs, missions, and national strategic interests. The US Army is the best in the world because it can manage its forces so well - putting enough resources where they are needed while still operating and maintaining the rest of the force.

Kendra has a long and storied career in the US Army - combat deployments, tours at the Pentagon, and Command at every level. We are eager to hear her experiences, insights, and responsed to our questions.

METT Scholars sponsor these talks at Alabama A&M to bring professionals to the students. Many STEM students with underrepresented backgrounds have not seen or interacted with professionals who ‘look like them.’ This leads to students feeling alone and walking an uncharted path. Meeting professionals like Jamal may show the students that there is a path to success in STEM careers - and give them insights on how to get and stay on this path. This is in line with our Vision to grow our nation’s STEM talent through technical means and leadership.

We are grateful to Jamal, Alabama A&M, and our donors for making this talk possible.

Please help us continue to bring great speakers in to Alabama A&M and other minority serving institutes. We rely on your donations to seek out and bring inspirational speakers to our underrepresented partner schools. Please consider donating generously.
