UPDATE!!!!! Fort Hays State Historic Site Presents

Scott Pelly, CBS, and Col Steve Boylan from Steve's service in Iraq a few years ago.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Steve will not be able to attend Sunday's meeting. Sending Steve our best wishes and hope to see him down the trail in the coming year.

Join The Friends of Historic Fort Hays in welcoming Dr. Steven Boylan to Fort

Hays as part of their 2023 annual meeting. Dr. Boylan will be presenting the very

interesting and informative program titled, “Military and the Media Then and

Now.” He currently serves as a Professor of the Practice and the Director of

Graduate Programs for the University of Kansas School of Business in

Leavenworth, Kansas. Teaching at the graduate level, he has developed and

teaches a total of five graduate courses.

Dr. Boylan retired from the United States Army in November 2010 as a Colonel

with almost twenty-seven years of service in both Public Affairs and Army

Aviation. During the Surge 2007-08, he was responsible for the Public Affairs

mission in Iraq under Commanding General David Petraeus. He has worn many

hats (helmets) in his career, and as Master Army Aviator, he qualified in both

Huey and Apache helicopters.

His knowledge of the subject matter and his personal experience make for a

compelling program. As Deb Goodrich, former media liaison at Fort Leavenworth

recently commented, “If you think his resume is impressive, you ought to see him

in action.” We look forward to seeing you at Historic Fort Hays Sunday, January

29th at 2:00 p.m. to hear Dr. Boylan.

Dr. Boylan was a speaker at Fort Wallace Museum's annual symposium last March and was honored as a D. K. Clark Lecturer. Photo by Jayne Pearce
