WALL OF FAME

Colonel Michael Huddleston is inducted into the WMU ROTC Wall of Fame. COL Huddleston received his commission in 1983 and currently serves as the State Aviation Officer for the Minnesota Army National Guard. Fellow Wall of Famers were on hand to assist with the induction.

FIRST ROTC FEMALE

We were recently contacted by Deborah Shinaver Wolf who brought to our attention that she was the first female in ROTC at WMU and possibly the nation. A little research revealed that she may very well have been the first female ROTC cadet in the country. According to U.S. Army Cadet Command, The 10 Year History, by Arthur T. Coumbe and Lee S. Harford, a test was run at 10 schools during school year 1972-73 for admitting women. All programs were then opened to women in fall of 1973. Debroah was in our program in the winter semester of 1970, fully two years prior.
