Virginia Tech Air Force ROTC Honors Shultz Operations Manager Nona Gabbert

On Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 4:00 p.m., the Air Force ROTC members of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets conducted a pass-in-review ceremony in front of War Memorial Chapel on the Virginia Tech campus as a tribute to Nona Gabbert's outstanding service. Nona Gabbert is operations manager at Shultz Dining Center , which serves as the primary dining venue for the corps. She received a certificate of appreciation and a coin stamped with the Air Force ROTC insignia, a traditional military symbol of honor.

“We wanted to thank her,” said Matthew Lisa, corps member and aerospace engineering major. “She's always bright and cheery every morning at 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. for breakfast. And she's helped us out of a lot of tough spots this year.” He said that on several occasions his organization needed a facility on short notice and Gabbert arranged space for them in Shultz, even when notified only one day in advance.

This is Gabbert's fourth award from the corps, including several certificates of appreciation and a designation of “honorary cadre” for her continuous dedication to the students and personnel of the corps of cadets.
