UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The annual Joint Service ROTC awards ceremony on March 27 saw 123 cadets and midshipmen recognized from the Air Force, Army and Navy/Marine services.

Each year, students and cadre don their dress uniforms and fill up Schwab Auditorium to recognize military and academic excellence, leadership ability and other qualities throughout their ranks.

Of special note this year was the presentation of the MacArthur Award to Army ROTC for the 2016-17 school year.
