PIONEER PANEL - Witness history through the voices of those who made it: three trailblazers from the U.S. Air Force Academy classes of 1980, 1981, and 1982 share their firsthand accounts of the integration of women into the cadet wing. Featuring: - General (Ret.) Janet Wolfenbarger '80, the Air Force's first woman four-star general - Lieutenant General (Ret.) Michelle Johnson '81, the first woman Superintendent of the Academy - Major General (Ret.) Suzanne Vautrinot '82, a pioneering leader in a cyber domain that didn't even exist when she entered the Academy - Moderator: Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Naviere Walkewicz '99 On June 28, 1976, the first women cadets walked up the ramp beneath the iconic "Bring Me Men..." inscription to join the Long Blue Line of the United States Air Force Academy. In this Pioneer Panel, three of the women who lived it tell the story of integration: the personal challenges, the institutional challenges, the classmates who became family, and the enduring impact of service before self. Recorded live on April 24, 2026, in Colorado Springs, their conversation is candid, funny, and deeply moving. A story told by the women at the center of it.
