All Alumni Meeting, Battalion Awards and Scholarship Ceremony.
The order of events for Saturday is the Alumni Business Meeting followed by the Awards and Scholarship Ceremony. The timing of the events is unknown because game kickoff is TBD. The Alumni Meeting and Awards Ceremony will take place in a different location this year, The LBJ’s School Bass Lecture Hall. Come learn about the latest unit activities, plans, and achievements. See the awarding of over $176,000 worth of scholarships and officer swords to UT NROTC Battalion members by your Midshipmans Foundation.
BBQ Dinner & Football Game Watch Party
At the conclusion of the Scholarship & Awards Ceremony, we will move to the Glickman Center in the ROTC Building (RLP) to enjoy Pok-e-Joe’s BBQ. Beer/Wine/Tea will be served. The Alumni Foundation Board invites all Battalion members to join us for complimentary pre-game BBQ.
This year we are combining the cost of the Friday Social and the Saturday BBQ to a combined total of $50/ticket. This cost subsidizes the free BBQ meals we offer to the battalion members.
The Texas vs LSU Watch Party immediately follows the BBQ. The game is broadcast on the big screen and there is plenty of seating and drinks for all.
