| Joint Commissioning MTU Spring ‘09 |
| Each spring several cadets are commissioned into the United States Army during ceremonies held on campus. Families, friends, University Presidents and other distinguished guests take part in the commissioning. This event takes place during the University commencement ceremonies so the entire MTU graduating class gets to be a part of the activity. |
