Soldier featured in emotional, televised reunion part of UofL grad program

August 8, 2017

Last week, Lieutenant Robert (Bo) Farrell completed the summer portion of the Cadre and Faculty Development Course at UofL. The New Jersey native is now a student in the CEHD’s MA in Higher Education Administration program.

When Farrell was deployed in 2016, he was featured on NBC Nightly News for surprising his brother Matt during a Notre Dame Basketball game. Matt will be a senior on that squad this season.

Farrell was stationed at OB Fenty, Jalalabad, Afghanistan. He served as part of the 4th Squadron, 3rd Calvary Regiment from Ft. Hood, Texas.
