Commander Lawrence Henry Kennedy, U.S. Navy was selected by the Navy Personnel Command selection board to participate in the Permanent Military Professor (PMP) Program. This program is designed to prepare Navy officers to become military instructors at the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), the Naval War College (NWC), and the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). These officers serve a critical role in the education of the Navy's Officer Corps by combining fleet experience with advanced academic preparation to convey relevant knowledge to USNA midshipmen and officers attending NWC or NPS.
Commander Kennedy will receive full tuition and stipend support while remaining on active duty during the remaining three years that he will be attending University of Memphis pursuing his PhD degree. Upon graduation, he will report to Annapolis, Maryland, where he will teach chemistry at the United States Naval Academy. He has joined the research group of Professor Thomas Sutter, W. Harry Feinstone Chair of Excellence in Functional Genomics. Larry's research is focused on receptor-mediated carcinogenesis and chemoprevention of cancer. |
