00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:03.390
>> Dana Borne: I'm Brigadier General
Dana Borne and I'm the Dean of Faculty

00:00:03.390 --> 00:00:06.870
at the Air Force Academy, general
officer of the United States Air Force.

00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:11.940
I'm like a provost at a university where
the academic program is my responsibility

00:00:11.940 --> 00:00:13.770
at the United States Air Force Academy.

00:00:13.770 --> 00:00:20.460
The day starts about 5:30 in the morning,
typically, work out of home for the first hour

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:25.410
or so and then go into the
office between 7 and 7:30.

00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:30.130
And then, typically, during
a week, the official part

00:00:30.130 --> 00:00:33.810
of the day may end about 5:30, we say 17:30.

00:00:33.810 --> 00:00:37.930
But then, typically, there's a dinner
hosting an international delegation

00:00:37.930 --> 00:00:40.070
or a visiting lecture or so.

00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:43.240
Sometimes, it can go through
till 9:30 10:00 at night.

00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:48.970
I do most of my thought work at home after
the kids go to bed or before they wake

00:00:48.970 --> 00:00:54.500
up in the morning because it's quiet and
I can have devoted uninterrupted time.

00:00:54.500 --> 00:01:02.690
During the day, I'm, primarily, going to events,
classes, in meetings, pop in pop up issues.

00:01:02.690 --> 00:01:10.280
So, I really don't try to spend too much
time in the office doing work during the day.

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.370
We have our board of trustees, board
of visitors meetings four times a year.

00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:19.140
Two are in Washington DC and two we host
at the Air Force Academy in Colorado.

00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:23.530
But, there's also travel, having the opportunity
to visit our students studying abroad.

00:01:23.530 --> 00:01:29.150
So, I've been to the UK and Spain,
had the opportunity to travel to lots

00:01:29.150 --> 00:01:32.930
of different states in the United States for
different conferences and things like that.

00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:34.510
So, yeah there is quite a bit of travel.

00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:39.170
