On May 9, Carroll College’s ROTC program held its annual Commissioning Ceremony in the Montana State Capitol Rotunda, where four graduating cadets took their oaths of office and became Second Lieutenants in the United States Army. Two additional cadets will be commissioned later this summer.
This year’s ceremony was attended by Brigadier General Renea Dorvall and Lieutenant Colonel Janel Wiese of the Montana Army National Guard. The program also honored two departing leaders: Lieutenant Benjamin Culver, retiring Professor of Military Science for the Grizzly Battalion, and Sergeant First Class McKenzie Harriman, who is transitioning to a new role at Fort Harrison.
