Hackney enrolls in PU ROTC

Cameron Hackney has enrolled in the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps program at Purdue University.

Upon graduation and completion of ROTC military science courses at the host university, the cadet receives a bachelor's degree and a commission of second lieutenant in the United States Army.

At the host college or university, ROTC cadets receive training in leadership, management skills and military science courses needed to be an Army officer or a successful citizen in a civilian career.

The program trains cadets to succeed as effective leaders in any competitive environment. Army officers serve as leaders, counselors, strategists and motivators, who lead other soldiers in all situations occurring in ever-changing environments.

Hackney is the son of Sheryl J. Hackney, of Huntington.

He is a 2013 graduate of Huntington North High School.
