Vice Admiral Sandra Stosz (Ret.), is the former superintendent of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London and the first woman to lead a U.S. Armed Services academy.

She will also discuss the challenges that come with being a “first” or “one of a few” when confronting barriers that have historically denied women the same opportunities as men in the military, particularly when in a command position and seeking promotion.
