CPT James Hicks Jr., MBAAssistant Professor of Military Science
On Faculty since 2016
|
I have 19 years in the military Human Resources field and am currently serving as a Captain in the Adjutant General Corps. I have learned a lot throughout my journey in the military and have visited places I never dreamed I would get a chance to visit, but the military afforded me that opportunity. I have served in the states as well as overseas.
Before becoming an officer, I was an enlisted officer for 10 years in the same field and have attended multiple echelons of school to become the Human Resources Officer I am today. I have been teaching Military Science for two years, and I’m excited each and every day I come to office to mold young minds to think critically and develop them into the future leaders of our Army.
