USCGA TRADITION: ECLIPSE WEEKEND

In early April USCGA hosts its annual Eclipse Weekend.

“Eclipse is a near fifty-year-old tradition of great significance to the Coast Guard and to the Academy. The purpose of Eclipse is to foster an inclusive environment by stimulating a community dialog that promotes a culture of respect. Eclipse is designed to equip leaders with tools to lead in a diverse workforce. Sessions embrace identity related topics encompassing race, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation.”

This year’s theme is Forward Together: Valuing Truth and Identity in Service. Past themes have included 2018- Embracing a Community of Respect, 2016-Mirroring Positive Change, Starting from Within, and 2011-Reconceptualizing Leadership Through a Diversity Lens.
