Kent State University Army ROTC

Congratulations to Cadet Haines (Kent State) for successfully completing Air Assault School this summer. His dedication and commitment to excellence has paid off and has shown great Leadership qualities for his peers and underclass students to emulate.

We are incredibly proud of our cadets from Youngstown and Kent for providing a Color Guard at the Folds of Honor Organization's Annual Concert and Golf Outing. Their Selfless Service, Loyalty, and Duty in volunteering and completing this mission exemplify the Army Values and their dedication to the Golden Eagle Battalion. Well done!

BEAT NAVY! Congrats to the Army Black Knights for winning the 123rd Army Navy Game and the FIRST Overtime in all 123 games!

For the 123rd time...GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY!

Don't count on these (future) Lieutenants getting lost in the woods, especially after this week's land navigation training!

We'd also like to thank Dr. N.J. Akbar for sharing his story and his encouraging remarks, as well as Kent State's own Baylee Sweitzer for her photography.

A special thank you to North 41 Crossfit for hosting the 1LT Ashley White Hero WOD! Several Cadets and others from the community represented the Program, the Kent community, and her enduring legacy during the workout.

North 41 CrossFit hosts a free Hero WOD every Sunday, and proceeds are donated to surviving families of fallen Servicemembers, and to date has donated $5,000!
