The 1LT Todd W. Weaver Military
and Scholastic Excellence Award
Will be awarded annually to a ROTC Senior from W&M or Christopher Newport University who has excelled both militarily and scholastically; actively participated in athletics; and has demonstrated an outstanding leadership ability that would exemplify the characteristics of
1LT Todd W. Weaver.
The ROTC Miltary Award is decided by the ROTC faculty of The College of William and Mary and Christopher Newport University each year. The award is marked with an engraved plaque permanently placed in the ROTC Building at the College of W&M.
Once Todd decided to join ROTC, he used his experience as an enlisted Soldier to quickly rise in rank and to assume command of the Corps of Cadets at W&M and Christopher Newport University. In that process, Todd earned the ranking of thirty-sixth out of more than four thousand ROTC Cadets across the Nation. He truly earned his commission as an Army Officer in May of 2008. As a former Army Officer, Todd's father Donn Weaver was honored to administer the oath of office. (photo above)
