Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro Shares Career and Life Advice

Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro visited campus in December to meet with Columbia University students, NROTC cadets, and give the Navy’s Distinguished Public Service Award to President Lee C. Bollinger. While on campus, Del Toro, who is responsible for more than 900,000 sailors, Marines, reservists, and civilian personnel and an annual budget exceeding $210 billion, discussed his priorities, including the training and equipment that successful naval operations demand. He also addressed pressing challenges confronting the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps: China’s naval ambitions, climate instability, COVID’s ongoing impact, and strengthening a naval culture of inclusiveness and respect.

Del Toro also carved out some time to talk with Ben Chang about his life and career in public service in our second installment of “Step Talk.” On this Memorial Day weekend, watch this video to learn about his childhood in New York City, which “Top Gun" movie he preferred, and his feelings about tattoos.
