"It was such an honor to have our local business leaders come to campus and be witness to what our cadets are achieving," said MMA Vice President for Institutional Advancement Rob Silbaugh, a Rotarian. "Being part of the Fusileers requires strength, endurance, mental awareness, academic discipline, and dedication. The Rotary Club members were able to see all of that and so much more. MMA is proud to be part of Mexico community."
