ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Peace & War Center and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ students attended the International Forum for Peace, Security, and Prosperity (IFPSP)
Cadet Daniel Inglee's reflection on his time at the International Forum for Peace, Security, and Prosperity (IFPSP).
My time at the International Forum for Peace, Security, and Prosperity (IFPSP) was an invaluable experience that broadened my perspectives as a cadet at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and a future officer in the United States Army. Throughout the night, I had the opportunity to engage with international individuals and share ideas and values that will help shape my future career. Representing ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ at this event was an honor, as it allowed me to collaborate across cultures and gain insights into global leadership and diplomacy.
I had the opportunity to discuss issues with cadets, Canadian reserve officers and veterans, as well as the organizers of IFPSP, regarding differences among military colleges and shared values in service during the forum. Therefore, these interactions were new eye-openers to me and pointed out how important cross-cultural discussions are. The forum brings together influential leaders and fosters relationships that are key to building a peaceful and prosperous global community.
With military academies, IFPSP opens a world of possibilities that can enable peacemaking at a basic level by the very individuals who have served and will serve on the front lines. This setting gave me hands-on experience in the exchange of ideas, critical questions, and relationship building with people from diverse backgrounds. These skills are helpful in reaching my goal of becoming a Foreign Area Officer, where cultural competency and collaboration are critical.
The forum also taught me to come out of my comfort zone to be able to learn about diversified cultures. It also allowed me to grow as a leader by being more confident and prepared to handle complex questions and scenarios.
I am very grateful to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and the organizers of IFPSP, who made this trip possible. To represent ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ in an international setting was an honor, and the discussions that were held throughout the night will inform my approach to diplomacy, and service. This experience helped me confirm my level of commitment to fostering peace and security throughout the world.
