After almost losing the ROTC Golden Eagle Battalion nearly two years ago, Tech has continued to improve the program, its facilities and the opportunities afforded to its students.
Tech’s ROTC program moved from the West Stadium to the building that formerly housed University Police, behind Matthews-Daniel Hall. The university also built a rappel tower and had a ribbon cutting in April to dedicate both. President Phil Oldham was the first to rappel down the tower (pictured here).
A group of alumni and others have formed an advisory board to help guide and promote the program into the future. The number of scholarships for ROTC students has expanded as well. These and other efforts are part of an ongoing effort to meet the goals and objectives U.S. Army Cadet Command has set to keep Tech’s ROTC program alive. V
