Rounds Appointee Accepted to U.S. Air Force Academy

Statement

U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) today called Madison High School student Samantha Herman to notify her of her offer of appointment to the United States Air Force Academy. Rounds was pleased to hear that Herman intends to accept the offer. Herman, the daughter of William Herman and Tara Erbentraut of Madison, received a principal nomination to the United States Air Force Academy from Rounds.

"I congratulate Samantha on her offer of appointment to the United States Air Force Academy," said Rounds. "As a member of National Honor Society, Student Council and Future Business Leaders of America, it is clear that Samantha has leadership skills that will serve her well as she pursues an education at one of our country's premier service academies. It was an honor to nominate Samantha and I wish her the best of luck at the Air Force Academy."

Each year, Rounds is able to nominate a select group of eligible students from South Dakota to attend our nation's four service academies: The U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy.
