Breaking Barriers and Building Bonds:

In 2026, USNA Women will celebrate a powerful legacy: 50 years since women first joined the ranks of the U.S. Naval Academy. What began in 1976 with 81 pioneering midshipmen has grown into a legacy of excellence, resilience, and trailblazing achievement.

We invite all alumni - men and women, across generations and ranks - to join us in honoring this extraordinary journey. From the first women who dared to lead, to the thousands who followed with distinction, this celebration is for every member of the USNA family who believes in the power of inclusion, the strength of diversity, and the enduring spirit of the Brigade.

Together, we'll reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and chart a bold course for the future. Whether you wore the uniform decades ago or just tossed your cover at graduation, you belong. This is your story too.

Let's make this anniversary unforgettable. Join us in commemorating 50 years of women at the Naval Academy - and the future we are building together.
