[Graduates of the Academy's four-year program receive a Bachelor of Science degree, and are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Air Force.
As part of Wednesday night's celebration of the military, the Sycamores will honor Indiana State University President Dr. Daniel J. Bradley who himself served in the United States Army prior to his career in higher education.
