LaMalfa Recognizes Service Academy Appointments from Northern California

Oroville, CA - Representative Doug LaMalfa announced today that he will honor three students who received appointments to the United States Service Academies on June 8th in Oroville. U.S. Service Academy graduates receive a first-rate undergraduate education, equivalent to that provided by a top-tier, Ivy League school, with options to pursue advanced degrees; spend a minimum of 5 years serving their country on active duty as a military officer; and are provided with an education and experience that will provide a world of career opportunities.

"The North State has again produced an impressive group of young leaders, and I'm confident that they will bring credit to their communities by excelling in their studies and serving in our nation's armed forces," said LaMalfa. "I couldn't be more proud of these students – they deserve our congratulations, our respect, and our thanks."

Representative LaMalfa based his nominations on the recommendations of his Selection Committee, comprised of North State community leaders and veterans from all service branches. The Committee recommended a slate of nominees after reviewing each candidate's file and holding interviews. The following students received appointments from those nominations:

Andrew Klassen - Chico
