Molly Miller '20 - Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army

"Participating in Army ROTC kept me focused on my academics and physical fitness throughout my four years at Westmont. While I enjoyed the small class sizes and community at Westmont, ROTC expanded my social circle and gave me many opportunities to serve the community of Santa Barbara. Army ROTC also provided the flexibility in choosing to serve full time or part-time after graduation."
