MSU cadets earn nat’l honors

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State University’s Air Force ROTC again is receiving accolades with the selection of two cadets for top national honors. Senior mathematics major Cadet Courtney Conway is the only cadet in the U.S. receiving the 2018 Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association’s Honor Award. The award is given to top graduating cadets in electrical engineering or communications sciences. AFCEA awards recognize ROTC graduates in each service who demonstrate excellence in military and academic performance. Conway, an Oxford, Miss., native, plans to graduate in December. Additionally, Conway and fellow AFROTC Cadet Sarah Doll, a senior criminology major from Charleston, S.C., both are selections for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. The federal law enforcement agency investigates federal level crimes within the Air Force. After completing AFOSI training, Conway and Doll will join the group as career Air Force officers. They are among 22 ROTC cadets in the nation chosen from a pool of applicants from 145 AFROTC units. (Source: Mississippi State University 11/20/18)
