Head of Army ROTC Programs Tours Davie Campus

U.S. Army Major General Antonio Munera, who leads the U.S. Army Cadet Command’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), visited NSU’s Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus on Tuesday, Jan. 30.

Munera sought to familiarize himself with universities and colleges in South Florida, gain a better understanding of the education track at NSU and discuss growing the ROTC program at NSU.

Munera’s met with ROTC cadets, thanked them for their service, reminded them how good the NSU program is and told them about his plans to expand the program at NSU.

“The Army is a people business,” he said. “Your mission is to make subordinates and peers better than they thought they could be.”

He cautioned the cadets to think about their “digital footprint” and how they promote themselves online. The meeting culminated in a photo shoot with the cadets at Forman Field at the Armed Forces Service Flag Plaza outside the Horvitz Administration Building.

Munera visited the Alan B. Levan I NSU Broward Center of Innovation. He toured the center’s cybersecurity range, which equips organizations with the knowledge and skills to tackle cyber threats. He also was introduced to the center’s volumetric capture studio, a leader in 3D content creation.

Munera met Dr. Harry K. Moon, NSU’s executive vice president, chief operating officer and president-elect; Dr. Brad Williams, vice president of student affairs; Terry Mularkey, executive director of development and community relations; Kimberly Durham, dean of the Abraham Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice; Lt. Col. Ken Green, head of the Broward County Junior ROTC program; and Sandra Wendland, director of NSU Military Affairs. The group discussed NSU’s collaborations and commitment to the military.

NSU cadets staged an afternoon rappelling demonstration for the major general from atop the Alvin Sherman Library. The demonstration was coordinated by military instructor Sgt. First Class Jamie Howard.
