President Donald Trump appointed Erika Kirk, widow of slain conservative activist and Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk, to the United States Air Force Academy’s Board of Visitors. It is unknown when the appointment occurred, but her name was discovered on the Air Force Academy’s website on Tuesday. Charlie Kirk had previously been appointed to the same Board in 2025 and remained on it until his assassination in September. 

“The Board inquires into the morale, discipline, curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the Academy which the Board decides to consider,” the Air Force Academy website noted.
