An activation ceremony for Northwestern State University’s 67th Demon Battalion will take place at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25 at the Spirit of the Cadet Park adjacent to the Gov. James A. Noe Armory.

Steeped in Army tradition, uncasing the Demon Battalion Colors during an activation ceremony signifies the unit’s esprit de corps and cadets’ commitment to the program and each other. It opens the new academic year and establishes the new Battalion and its leadership.

The public is invited. The Spirit of the Cadet Park is located at 418 Caspari St. To RSVP, contact Sid Hall at halls@nsula.edu or call (318) 357-6951.
