Campus.News reported this week that Richard McNutt '03 has been named the Number 1 ROTC Cadet in the Nation by the U.S. Army for 2003. According to the article:

Throughout his Rensselaer career, McNutt has maintained a 4.0 grade point average as a dual major in biophysics and biochemistry. He oversaw a ROTC company of 20 cadets, routinely clocked 12 minutes on two-mile runs, never achieved less than a perfect score on the Army’s physical fitness test, and is currently working toward his black belt in karate.

McNutt reportedly intends to pursue an assignment with either the 173rd Airborne Brigade or the 82nd Airborne Division after graduation and receiving his commission.
