Congresswoman Julia Brownley (D-CA 26th District) — Interested in attending a U.S. Service Academy? Join me on Wednesday to learn more!

by Community Contributor • September 8, 2025 • Comments Off

Attending a U.S. Service Academy is a great honor and an excellent way for young Americans to serve their country. Every year, I have the honor of nominating students from Ventura County and the Conejo Valley to represent our district at one of the five prestigious service academies in the nation.

This fall, my office is hosting a series of information nights for students and their families throughout California’s 26th Congressional District to learn about the service academies and the opportunities these institutions of higher learning afford their students.

Learn more about the U.S. Military Academy at West Point at the Service Academy Information Night.

Below is information on the first Service Academy Information Night in the series:

Wednesday, September 10, at 5:30 PM

Thousand Oaks Teen Center

1375 E. Janss Road, Thousand Oaks

This popular event features representatives, including alumni and current students, from the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. In addition to providing resources that help prospective students navigate the rigorous application process and the competitive congressional nomination process, the meeting also provides a forum for students and their parents to ask questions about admissions, student life, and more.

The Service Academy Information Night will feature representatives from the United States Naval Academy.

My staff will also be on hand to answer questions about the congressional nomination process. NOTE: Applications for a congressional nomination are due to my office no later than Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

Space is limited, and an RSVP is required. To RSVP, please email CA26.RSVP@mail.house.gov.
