Major General Talley’s presentation discussed the many opportunities available to students in the medical field both in and out of military service.
His presentation included information on educational and professional opportunities offered by the military such as their highly-ranked Master of Science programs. Having attended high school in Fairfield, Major General Talley was able to connect with the students on a personal level.
