Governors Guard

APSU Army ROTC 

At Austin Peay, ROTC is more than a program. It’s a commitment to excellence.

As a Cadet in APSU’s Governors Guard, you’ll be part of a battalion consistently ranked as one of the best of its kind. For example:

• Five MacArthur Awards. This award is given to the eight programs producing the highest quality officers in the nation each year.  Most recently, we earned the award in 2008.  
• Leadership Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) Performance. In the past three years, over 40% of APSU Cadets received Excellent leadership evaluations at LDAC. Nationwide average: less than 20%.  
• The Bronze Cross Award and Pallas Athene Award. Cadet Shamai Larsen received both of these awards in 2010. She was one of eight Cadets nationwide out of 4,050 to receive the Bronze Cross, and one of two female Cadets to win the Pallas Athene.
