WEST PONT, N.Y. -- Lt. Col. Deborah McDonald has been nominated by the Academic Board as Director of Admissions at West Point.
McDonald, a 1985 graduate of the academy will be the fifth and first woman to hold this position. Additionally, she earns the distinction as the first woman to head a major activity at the academy.
