The w88 casino games of Nevada Army Reserve Officer Training Corps held its annual awards ceremony at the Joe Crowley Student Union on May 3 to recognize outstanding achievement by cadets in the program.
Representatives from local and national organizations were on hand to present scholarships, medals, plaques and certificates to students that had excelled in military and scholastic endeavors. Scholarship awards totaling more than ,000 were donated from organizations such as the w88 casino games Military Support Alliance, the Scottish American Military Society, the Association of the United States Army and the American Legion. The w88 casino games Military Support Alliance in its second year of supporting the Wolf Pack Battalion awarded a total of ,000 in scholarships. Some of the scholarships were donated from private citizens honoring their relatives who served in the United States Military such as the Lt. George Wisham Leadership Award, Capt. Terry Cryder-Brannon memorial, and Col. John Etchemendy memorial scholarships.
Col. Mike Minaudo, chairperson w88 casino games Military Science Department, commented that, "I am proud w88 casino games cadets and their outstanding accomplishments during this year. I am also very thankful to all w88 casino games organizations that contribute to the program.
