Santa Clara University's ROTC "Bronco Battalion" again has won the annual MacArthur Award, granted to the most-excellent university-based officer training programs in each of eight brigades nationwide.
The Santa Clara University ROTC Bronco Battalion won the prestigious MacArthur Award granted by the U.S. Army's Cadet Command and the General Douglas MacArthur Foundation.
Biology major and incoming senior Benny Tran was honored as the top cadet in his regiment at the Leader Development and Assessment Course in Ft. Lewis, Wash., earlier this summer. Tran was among thousands of Army ROTC students training and testing at the 29-day program required for cadets to become Army lieutenants.
