Tim Wall

First Sergeant

Alpha Company

My name is Tim Wall and I am a sophomore here at Dayton and working on receiving a degree in Exercise Science. My grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings have all found their way, like myself, to University of Dayton and enjoyed their four years here, all claiming they were their best years ever.  Dayton offers a great environment for, not only academics, but social life as well. While studying for classes I also have plenty of time to enjoy other activities such as working out, playing sports/games and enjoying the social life that UD has to offer.  Most of all I spend my time participating in Army ROTC here at Dayton.

Army ROTC has offered me so many experiences to add to my college life that I would never have experienced as an average student.  Climbing the rock wall, shooting an M16 and learning military tactics are all included in what is taught during the exciting Military Science class in which ROTC students participate.  While in ROTC, I have enjoyed things such as competing in Ranger Challenge which is a team competition offered to cadets involving competition in an arrangement of events against other schools in the area.  Along with ROTC, I am in Pershing Rifles which is the military fraternity here at Dayton where we enjoy community service and learning the art of drill and ceremony.  Although ROTC takes up some of my time, it does not take up all of it and I still am able to enjoy other activities.  I have learned how to manage my time and have met some of my best friends here at school through ROTC.  ROTC offers an opportunity to excel while attending school and provides a career upon graduation.
