Meet Phebe Cornell, MTM Class of 2024

Q: What made you want to enroll in the MTM program? 

A: I was an active-duty Air Force officer working at Los Angeles Air Force base and was selected to be a part of the Advanced Academic Degree Program. It is offered through the Air Force Institute of Technology. Only a few people in the Air Force are selected from my career field every year to take advantage of this amazing opportunity. 

I was so honored and humbled to have been asked to do this degree.
