AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (KOAA) — The Air Force Academy has a new Dean of Faculty. A ceremony was held on Monday to welcome in Brigadier General James Valpiani.

Watch News5's coverage of when Col. Valpiani was announced as the new Dean of Faculty below:

Brigadier General Valpiani is a 2004 United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) graduate who was commissioned as the top graduate in the overall order of merit. He has also flown in nearly 100 combat missions.

USAFA says Brigadier General Valpiani replaces Col. Steven Hasstedt, who was the longest-serving acting dean in academy history. He has been in that position since the former Dean of Faculty, Brigadier General Linell Letendre, retired last May.
