Texas A&M’s Corps of Cadets is looking to recruit minority students, and that includes bringing Jewish cadets into the fold.

Recent statistics show that the Corps’ recruiting techniques are working to attract minority students, but they plan to do a lot more in the near future.  The Corps Commandant, Gen. Van Alstyne, said that although the majority of the Corps is Christian, the need for religious diversity is being addressed.

“I made it clear (to the chaplains) that their first priority is to ensure there is religious accommodations for everyone in the outfit and their job is to direct them to others who can guide them, like a pastor or a counselor,” Van Alstyne said.  The Corps of Cadets currently has a Jewish chaplain and a Muslim chaplain.
