One of my favorite people has been honored by the University of Denver<\/a> for her dedication to her country and her dedication to academic pursuits.<\/p>\n

This is Ky Hunter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I met Ky shortly after she returned from a year as a combat pilot in Iraq<\/a>. She is currently doing research on women and revolutions.<\/p>\n

The University of Denver Magazine<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

As a former member of the U.S. Marine Corps<\/a>, she was one of the first female attack pilots and later served as the corps\u2019 liaison officer to the U.S. House of Representatives<\/a>. Today, she\u2019s a Si\u00e9 Fellow at the Josef Korbel School<\/a>, where her career experiences shape the work she does in and out of the classroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hunter is a master\u2019s candidate in international security who earned her BA<\/a> from Georgetown University<\/a>\u2019s School of Foreign Service<\/a>. After graduating from Georgetown, she spent more than a decade as an officer in the Marine Corps, serving as an AH-1W Super Cobra<\/a> pilot on multiple deployments in support of Operation Iraqi and Operation Enduring Freedom<\/a>. \u201cI was an attack pilot. I was the first woman on the east coast,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was a trailblazer-type experience. Definitely an experience being the first in something, which is never easy. It\u2019s something that takes grit and determination.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations, Ky, for the well-deserved recognition.<\/p>\n
