JROTC Awards Honor Student Achievements 

Xavier’s fall JROTC awards ceremony, hosted on December 7, honored Regimental and individual excellence. Cadet Colonel Justin DeoPaul ’16 presented his State of the Regiment Address after award recipients were lauded for their academic and leadership achievements.

"The Fall Awards Ceremony was a huge success this year,” said Jean-Alfred Frederic ’16. “It’s great to see so many freshmen joining our ranks. Events like this show that the Xavier Regiment is still going strong.”
