“Education of our people is important. The US Navy is about inclusion and diversity.  The 
Navy has become high tech and we are looking for technically advanced candidates.  We 
are here to visit with a Eudora Kean High School student that has qualified to apply for 
one of our 200k scholarships” stated Admiral Andrews.  
 
The Governor supported the efforts of the Admiral and her recruiting team, encouraging 
all of them to visit all of our islands and engage more of our young people.  The Governor
