As co-chair of the University of Manitoba Political Studies Student Conference, one perk was the chance to do a conference exchange at West Point Military Academy for its Student Conference on United States Affairs. Some of its cadets come to the U of M to attend our conference, and in reciprocity, the co-chairs are able to visit West Point. Historic in its own right, the campus at West Point is simply awe-inspiring. The cadets we stayed with were very accommodating and I enjoyed the conference very much.
