We would like to extend a profound congratulations to Col Niki Lindhorst, a Det 205 and Harper Squadron alum, for being elected as the 2025 SIU Distinguished Alumni of the Year!

Col Lindhorst, who graduated in 1995, currently serves as the Director of Operations for Space Training and Readiness Command, after almost 3 decades of dedication and service to the USAF and USSF.

Alongside her are two other SIU and Harper Squadron alumni Col (Ret.) Linda Hoover and Maj (Ret.) Kat Herbert. These three ladies have all excelled at demonstrating what it means to be an outstanding leader, and we are beyond proud of all their achievements.

Thank you ladies for your service, and Harper Squadron hopes to see you again soon!
