National Prominence

The Leader in Residence at the Loy IFL works to make connections and partner with prominent military and industry leaders, to include federal service academies and institutions of higher education, reflecting on best practices, and establishing the Academy as an exemplar in leadership development. Through the efforts of the Loy Institute, the Coast Guard Academy received the prestigious Carnegie Classification for Public Purpose –  joining only a handful of institutions nationally recognized for enhancing the learning, teaching, and research mission of their institution by: developing leadership abilities in all institutional stakeholders; contributing to the public scholarly understanding of leadership as a public good, and understanding of the sociopolitical contexts, systems, and practices within which all leadership resides; and preparing students for lives of public leadership for public purpose in their careers, communities, and the broader society.
