Knieriem and I am the Professor of Military Science for the University of California, Davis (UCD) and California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). I understand there may be some concerns with Fresno State bringing East Union High School (near Stockton, CA) into a formal relationship that would potentially enhance potential students' ability to enroll into Fresno State’s Army ROTC Program. Not only should you not be concerned, but I fully support Major Boyce R. Buckner, the Fresno State Army ROTC Program's relationship with East Union High School. Furthermore, I can attest that there is very little to no impact on our enrollment numbers at both UCD and CSUS. I endorse and recommend supporting a formal relationship between East Union High School and the Fresno State Army ROTC. Thank you for your time and consideration and if you have any questions or concerns please contact me. Brian M.
