The Major Samuel Woodfill Chapter, AUSA, cordially invites you to join us as we honor the top Army ROTC cadets, as selected by their Professors of Military Science, from each of the five universities in our area: Central State University, University of Cincinnati, University of Dayton, Wright State University and Xavier University. They are our next generation of Army leaders.

The awards dinner is an exciting evening where these outstanding cadets are introduced by their Professors of Military Science. The cadets represent hundreds of outstanding young men and women from their universities. All selected an Army career in this time of war. You will feel a sense of pride in these cadets who volunteered to be an important part of the defense of this great country.
