Army ROTC at Southern University and A&M College - A proud tradition
Southern University and A&M College Army ROTC - A Leadership Legacy
In 1980, Lieutenant General (Retired) Edward Honor, a member of the 1954
class, became the first Southern University ROTC Battalion graduate to be
promoted to general officer. In 1981 and 1982, Southern was again honored
when Major General (Retired) Isaac Smith, Brigadier General (Retired) Donald
Delandro and Major General (Retired) Charles Honore’ were all promoted to
general officer rank. In 1987, another tradition was established, when ,
Sherian Cadoria became Southern ROTC’s first woman graduate to be
promoted to Brigadier General. These traditions of distinction live on
with the promotions of Jude W. P. Patin to Brigadier General, Joe N. Ballard to
Lieutenant General, Gregory A. Rountree to Major General, Russell Honore to
Lieutenant General and the recent announcement of Colonel Ervin Pearson for
promotion to Brigadier General.
