'Live From the Newsroom' examines ROTC

Our live-stream Internet broadcast, 'Live From the Newsroom,' will be back on the Widener campus tonight, examining a little-talked about aspect of college life.

We're talking about the cadets who take part in the ROTC program.

Lt. Col. Matthew Ignatovig, Battalion Commander of the Dauntless Battalion of the Widener Army ROTC, will be our guest, along with several cadets from the Widener program.

They will talk about ROTC, what life is like for cadets, and the role of ROTC in today’s military.

Widener’s Army ROTC program also serves several other colleges and universities in the area including Villanova, Penn State-Abington, West Chester University, Cheyney University, Penn State-Brandywine, Neumann University and Immaculata University.

The name of the battalion is also the title of a John Phillip Sousa song that he wrote in honor of the Pennsylvania Military College Cadets years ago.

Join us live tonight at 7 on DelcoTimes.com.
