Sydney Barber, a brilliant 21-year-old mechanical engineering major, has broken a 145-year-old record by becoming the first Black female Brigade Commander at the United States Naval Academy!
Since women were first admitted 44 years ago, only 15 women have ever held this position — and now Sydney becomes the 16th, and the first Black woman to achieve this incredible milestone.
Throughout her journey, she has excelled academically, led major campus organizations, championed diversity and inclusion, and inspired countless young people through STEM outreach and mentorship.
As Brigade Commander, she will lead over 4,500 midshipmen, oversee daily operations, and help shape the next generation of Naval leaders.
Her story is one of excellence, courage, leadership, and possibility.
Congratulations, Sydney Barber! Your journey is inspiring the world.
