NPS Kicks Off Latest Naval Research Working Group
By MC2 Victoria I. Ochoa
Chief of Strategy and Innovation for the Department of the Navy, Dr. Maura Sullivan addresses students, faculty and staff during the Naval Research Working Group (NRWG) keynote in King Auditorium, March 21. The NRWG provides some 500 attendees with an opportunity to discuss the potential for collaboration on more than 200 different research topics.
“This is your Navy and Marine Corps,” said Sullivan. “The organization needs research, ideas and ingenuity to succeed in a complex and uncertain future.”
For NPS students exploring potential thesis topics, the NRWG provides a forum where sponsors throughout the Navy and Marine Corps can highlight their most pressing challenges.
“It’s an exciting time to be a part of the Department of Defense,” said Col. James T. Jenkins, Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, Science and Technology Director. “There are many opportunities to take advantage of the education that you will receive to make a better tomorrow.”
The NRWG continues throughout the week, with students and faculty using various panel sessions to meet with topic sponsors about the needs of the fleet and the DOD.
