Campus ChampionThanks to Adam Gonzalez’s strong leadership skills, SUNY Cortland’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program presently has an abundance in student involvement. Three years ago, he was the sole freshman from his class to join the Army ROTC program. Desiring to make the campus more aware of this opportunity and with the realization that the school newspaper staff had no military presence, Gonzalez joined, later became co-editor-in-chief last semester before turning his focus to other volunteer commitments. Today, the senior communication studies major is the undeclared spokesperson for Cortland’s ROTC program while balancing his four-day-a-week ROTC commitment and personal academic excellence.
