Sandra L. Stosz
Stosz was the Maryland state discus champion while at Mount Hebron High School in Ellicott City, and a Junior Olympic-caliber swimmer.[7] Stosz, a 1982 graduate of the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, holds a master of business administration degree from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management in Evanston, Illinois.[9] The cutter was USCGC Katmai Bay (WTGB 101), which, homeported in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, has operated since her 1979 launching in the Great Lakes as a unit of the Ninth Coast Guard District.[12] In 2013, on behalf of Coast Guard Academy, Stosz signed an interagency agreement with Vice Admiral Michael S. Devany, chief of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.[1] She has described her "most enjoyable assignment" as being her initial tour, once completing her studies at Coast Guard Academy, as an ensign on the icebreaker USCGC Glacier (AGB/WAG/WAGB 4), which took her to Haiti, New Zealand, various South Pacific islands, and Antarctica.
