BYU Army ROTC

Honoring service and sacrifice this past Veterans Day at the Presidential Review. Proud to stand alongside our Air Force ROTC brothers and sisters, as we were addressed by BYU President C. Shane Reese and inspired by President Steven J. Lund of the Young Men’s General Presidency. Grateful for the opportunity to serve and to celebrate the strength of our nation and faith.

Honoring tradition and teamwork! 💪 BYU Army and Air Force cadets took part in the BYU-UofU Holy War Run, covering a combined 25 miles before passing the honorary game football to the Utah ROTC. A true display of camaraderie and spirit! #9-0

Our cadets have been killing it at Advanced Camp!

Recently, we honored Colonel (Ret.) Roland D. Griffith Sr. at our Dining Out. A distinguished Vietnam Veteran, COL Griffith shared lessons of leadership and integrity while bearing testimony of Jesus Christ’s role in helping us become better leaders and disciples.

The evening also featured awards and gifts given to cadets as well as plenty of laughs from the traditional grog bowl ceremony and cadet presentations. It was a memorable evening to finish off a hard-working school year!
