COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

Colonel Samantha Weeks was the Commander, 14th Flying Training Wing, Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. The 14th FTW conducts Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training for U.S. Air Force and allied officers, as well as tactical training for Afghan and Lebanese pilots and aircraft maintainers in the A-29 Super Tucano at Moody AFB, Georgia. The wing is composed of 244 aircraft flying more than 55,000 sorties and 77,000 hours per year while training over 400 pilots and combat system operators annually. Colonel Weeks manages an operations and maintenance budget of $115 million with capital assets exceeding $2.3 billion.

Colonel Weeks received her commission from the United States Air Force Academy in 1997. After graduating from Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training, she flew the F-15C where she supported Operations Northern and Southern Watch. She was assigned as an Air Force Fellow to the Office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Washington D.C., and was chosen for a Lorenz Fellowship where she was awarded her Doctorate in Military Strategy, focusing on leader and leadership development. She was also the first-female solo demonstration pilot on the United States Air Force Aerial Demonstration Squadron, the Thunderbirds. Prior to this assignment, she was the Commander, 57th Adversary Tactics Group, Nellis AFB, Nevada.

Colonel Weeks is a command pilot with more than 2,200 flying hours including 105 combat hours in support of Operations Northern Watch and Southern Watch, and has flown in support of Operation Noble Eagle.

STUDENT SPEAKER

Ava Prothero has been a Primavera student for the past two years. She grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but currently lives in Yuma, Arizona. After graduation, Ava plans to pursue her college education, possibly in the fields of communications or journalism. Ava is currently interested in working as an investigative journalist (but that may change!).

In her free time, she likes to stream video games that she enjoys playing, work on my artwork (sketches, comics, etc.), and play with my two pets.
