The Gathering of Eagles elective course at Air University’s Air Command and Staff College gives students the opportunity to engage with, interview and recognize individuals who have distinguished themselves in their service to their country and communities. The individuals being recognized are called Eagles within the GOE program and the depth of experience and service they share provides a vast array of leadership lessons, inspirational stories, and encouragement to ACSC students who are soon expecting to take on greater leadership roles in their respective services and organizations upon graduation.
