General Mark Milley Brings Defense Leadership Perspective to McCourt School

The National Defense Policy Initiative (NDPI), a McCourt School student organization, recently welcomed former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley (USA, ret.) for a conversation with Professor Haider Mullick and Elisha Clark (MS-DSPP ’26), NDPI’s president.

NDPI brings together all McCourt School students who are interested in deepening their understanding of defense policy, global military organizations, and careers in government. McCourt has a proud tradition of supporting the U.S. military and its service members, and NDPI serves as one of the many connections between civilian students and the armed forces.

Retired General Mark A. Milley served as the 20th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the principal military advisor to the President, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Council. He held the role from October 1, 2019 until his retirement on September 29, 2023, having previously served as the 39th Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army.

Along with speaking at the McCourt School, General Milley met with NDPI students and McCourt School Dean Carole Gresenz.
