GOLDEN EAGLE ROTC HALL OF FAME
The Tennessee Technological University’s U.S. Army Reserve Officers’
Training Corps HALL OF FAME was established during School Year 1987-1988.
The primary purpose of the ROTC Hall of Fame is to recognize Tennessee Tech
ROTC commissionees who have distinguished themselves by action, deed or through
personal achievements that reflect upon the greatness of this University
through their contribution to our society and Tennessee Tech.
Any graduate of the TTU ROTC Program may nominate a fellow graduate for
induction. The nominator must give a short statement concerning nominee’s
background they feel warrants induction. The ROTC faculty and staff
members review the nomination and make the final decision on induction.
The person selected for induction must be present at the induction
ceremony. An appropriate ceremony is usually held during Tennessee Tech’s
Homecoming activities. The ROTC Department attempts to hold an induction
ceremony on a bi-annual basis, contingent upon available resources from the
ROTC Department. A nomination form is available upon request from the TTU
ROTC Department.
Inauguration ceremonies inducting MG Bob L. Robinson, class of 1955, into
the Hall of Fame were conducted on 7 May 1988. Other inductees are:
