Maj. Gen. Hope C. Rampy, commanding general of the U.S. Army, delivered the keynote address. FAU President Adam Hasner, along with other FAU and military officials, were also in attendance.
“Florida Atlantic is proud to honor the accomplishments of its spring graduates and newly commissioned officers in the U.S. Army,” said Hasner. “Their call to service is an inspiration to us all. We are thankful to Florida Atlantic’s Army ROTC program for preparing the class of 2025 to lead boldly into the future.”

“We are honored to celebrate these exceptional military-connected students and ROTC cadets,” said Jason Nadolinski, director of FAU’s Military and Veterans Student Success. “While many students passed through commencement this semester, these select alumni continued beyond commencement to swear an oath of office to the U.S. Constitution and of service to our nation. Now, they proudly embark in their service professions as Florida Atlantic veteran Owl alumni and as leaders in the Commissioned Officer Corps of the United States Army. We are very proud of each of them.”
