Columbus State University Army ROTC

"Columbus State University ROTC Cadets are proud to embody the values of scholars, athletes, and leaders while positively impacting our community. This weekend, we joined forces with the CSU Student Veteran Association to collaborate with the nonprofit organization House of Heros. Together, we dedicated our time and efforts to enhance the living conditions of a well-deserving Veteran in the Fort Moore community who required support in maintaining his home.

Our commitment to service extends beyond the classroom and training environment, and it's our privilege to honor those who paved the way for us. By working together, we are truly making a difference in the lives of our veterans.
