Browsing: Baylor Air Force ROTC

This semester Col. Jim Parsons has taken the reins of the Baylor Air Force ROTC, applying over 30 years of military experience to lead the cadets in a new direction.

Every two years Baylor Air Force ROTC hires a new commander, and Parsons began his work this semester. Parsons said his job is not only to command, but also to prepare students.

At a magnitude not reached in recent years, Baylor will honor those who have served in the military with a Veterans Day ceremony. From 5 to 6 p.m. Monday at the Bill Daniel Student Center Bowl, the Baylor and Waco community will come together to pay homage and learn about veterans’ service.

The ceremony, sponsored by Veterans of Baylor, Veteran Education & Transition Services (VETS), and Baylor Army & Air Force ROTC, is intended to explain what Veterans Day is, how it came to be and why it is important, said Seattle junior Bryan Solis, public affairs officer for Veterans of Baylor and Marine Corps veteran. The event is free and open to the public.
