The U.S. Army Cadet Command 5th Brigade recently named the Army ROTC Sun Devil Battalion at Arizona State University as the winner of the Geronimo Award for Best Large Program in 2023.
The honor, presented by the 5th Brigade encompassing 36 schools in the Southwest, recognizes excellence in fulfilling the mission of the U.S. Army Cadet Command: to recruit, educate, develop, and inspire ROTC cadets to become commissioned officers of character for the total Army, according to a release.
"I am so proud of the officers, NCOs, Department of the Army civilians, university employees and our cadets,” said Col. Erich B. Schneider, Sun Devil Battalion professor of military practice and ROTC lead.
“The honor of being recognized with the Geronimo Award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, especially our student-athlete leaders."
The Geronimo Award highlighted the Sun Devil Battalion at ASU “for its outstanding commitment to diversity, both in terms of student demographics and academic disciplines” with a particular emphasis on graduates holding degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, the release stated.
The Sun Devil Battalion was founded in 1935 and is one of the oldest Army ROTC programs in the nation.
