The Purdue University Reserve Officer’s Training Corps Hall of Fame includes distinguished graduates from the Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC Programs. The Hall of Fame was established in 1974 by exemplifying those attributes of leadership, integrity, moral courage, and self discipline which the program develops. The Hall of Fame was expanded in August 1999 to include distinguished alumni of Purdue’s Naval and Air Force ROTC programs. Service to the nation, to the community, and outstanding leadership in the fields of business, government, education, or other professional fields are used as the basis for selection. Members photos are prominently displayed on the Hall of Fame wall on the first floor of the Armory.
