As the daughter of Korean immigrants, COL Julia Coxen grew up with a natural understanding of the importance of service to her country. Her experience in ROTC led to a successful Army career in Special Operations, a PhD centered on using data to combat sex trafficking, and her current role inspiring the next generation of systems engineers at West Point. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with COL Coxen to discuss how data and system design drives everything in the world, how she lights a spark in her students, and how close she came to becoming an astronaut at NASA.
Guest: COL Julia Coxen, PhD, Systems Engineering Department Head, United States Military Academy at West Point
