In this article, The AFIT Foundation is recognizing SGM (Ret.) Jeffrey Morris, Ph.D., Assistant Cyber Professor at Augusta University!

Dr. Morris received his PhD in Systems Engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) in 2014. Being an Air Force military brat, he always knew he would join the military. Dr. Morris served as an Army Sergeant Major for 35 years and is now an assistant professor at Augusta University.

A favorite memory Dr. Morris has from AFIT was finally walking the stage at graduation with the honor of being the first enlisted AFIT graduate to earn a PhD. The things Dr. Morris learned during his time at AFIT have enriched his professional life, and the friends he made continue to enrich his life today.

Dr. Morris’ advice to those who are entering the military is to make the most of the experience. He says, “There are so many pathways and opportunities in the military; you just have to be open to doing new things!” Thank you, Dr. Morris!
