Rear Adm. Wendi B. Carpenter named President of SUNY Maritime College.

If you hear a loud cracking sound today,  it might another glass ceiling breaking.  In the beginning of June, we posted  that Rear Adm. Sandra Stosz had been named as the 40th Superintendent of the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Ct.   Today, the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of trustees is expected to name Rear Adm. Wendi B. Carpenter the first woman president of the SUNY Maritime College at Fort Schyler.

Admiral Carpenter has an impressive resume. She was among the first women to be designated as a naval aviator and was the Navy’s first woman aviator promoted to the rank of admiral.  She is currently serving as the Commander of the Navy’s Warfare Development Command.
