Clemson ROTCs to commission Officers

In a joint ceremony on May 7, Clemson University’s Army and Air Force ROTC units will commission 36 officers. The 1pm ceremony takes place in the Tillman Hall auditorium. Nineteen students will receive commissions into the U.S. Army, and 17 students will receive commissions into the U.S. Air Force. Following their commissioning, the new lieutenants will participate in a Silver Dollar Salute ceremony on Military Heritage Plaza. This ceremony marks the first salute received by the new officer from an enlisted member. As a sign of mutual respect, the officer presents the enlisted member with a silver dollar.
