2LT Alma Cooper will be representing Michigan at the Miss USA Pageant this August, but she’s definitely NOT your traditional contestant. A 2023 graduate of West Point, she is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar currently completing a graduate degree in data-science at Stanford University, focusing on body mass index research that could aid the Army’s recruiting efforts. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with Lt. Cooper to discuss her experience and inspirations at West Point, why she believes obesity is a major cause for concern in the world, and they listen as she pulls back the curtain on Miss USA and pageants today.

Guest:

2LT Alma Cooper, US Army, Miss Michigan USA & Knight Hennessy Scholar, Stanford University
