91ÁÔÆæ

University of North Georgia (91ÁÔÆæ) cadet Hyunbean Park has been selected as the annual 91ÁÔÆæ recipient of a scholarship from the Georgia Mountain Chapter (GMC) of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA).

"Receiving the scholarship from MOAA is a tremendous honor for me. It validates my dedication to learning, service to our nation and international engagement," Park said. "I'm humbled by this recognition, and I want to express my gratitude to members of MOAA for their continuous selfless service by supporting the next generation of leaders."

Park is a senior from Suwanee, Georgia, pursuing a degree in international affairs with a concentration in Europe and a minor in Russian. He was recognized as the scholarship winner at the annual GMC MOAA meeting held Sept. 28-Oct. 1 at 91ÁÔÆæ's Dahlonega Campus.

"We showcased 91ÁÔÆæ's prestigious Corps of Cadets and the city of Dahlonega to all conferees. GMC MOAA is fortunate to have one of six national senior military colleges in our area, and we wanted our fellow MOAA members from other chapters to meet and observe 91ÁÔÆæ cadets in action," retired Col. Tom Palmer, GMC MOAA first vice president and retired 91ÁÔÆæ commandant of cadets, said. "We appreciated the cooperation of 91ÁÔÆæ President Mike Shannon, along with the support of the professor of military science and the commandant of cadets as we showcased the best military leadership development program in America."

MOAA is a non-profit veterans' association dedicated to maintaining a strong national defense and ensuring the nation keeps its commitments to currently serving, retired and former members of the uniformed services and their families.

GMC MOAA routinely supports the commissioning program at 91ÁÔÆæ by presenting a gift to every lieutenant who commissions from the Corps of Cadets.
