Ty Seidule

Ty Seidule was born in Alexandria, Virginia, on July 3, 1962.^{[citation needed]} He was raised just blocks away from the home of Confederate States Army commander Robert E. Lee, a fact that would later play a prominent role in his academic career.^[4] He also attended Robert E. Lee Elementary School (which later became the Nannie J. Lee Memorial Recreation Center, named after a prominent African-American resident,^[5] after the school was closed in 1978 and the property transferred to the city parks department^[6]) in Alexandria, and later earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington and Lee University in 1984.^[7] He later obtained an MA in 1994 and PhD in 1997 in history from Ohio State University.^[8] While still teaching at the military academy, Seidule continued to work on his doctoral degree in Ohio State graduate program under the direction of professor Allan R. Millett.^[9]

Upon completion of the college

After receiving his master's degree in history from Ohio State University in 1994, Seidule was appointed an assistant professor of history at the United States Military Academy while remaining on active duty in the army.[9] Seidule retired from the military academy and the US Army as a brigadier general in 2020.

In 2020, Seidule was appointed the Chamberlain Fellow and visiting professor of history at Hamilton College. He is also a fellow in the International Security program at New America.^[12][13] He is a professor emeritus of history at the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he taught and was the head of the history department for two decades during his time as an officer in the US Army.^[14][15]

In May 2021, Seidule was awarded an honorary doctorate and was the commencement speaker at Hamilton College.^[10]
