We were fortunate to have Emily join us for this informal occasion to learn about her student days as an IGS major and transition to the Army and adapting her liberal arts education to military life. Emily is currently the CEO and co-founder of Sword & Plough, her upcycling company that re-purposes military surplus into specialty bags and other products, with a mission to strengthen civil-military understanding. She talked about the similarities and differences of military and civilian management positions and briefly reviewed different career path options in the military.
