The Ranger Club and the ROTC program at Unversity of Wisconsin-Stevens Point hosts an 8-mile ruck march/walk each spring in order to raise funds in support of the College of Professional Studies (CPS) Alex Reeder Memorial Scholarship Endowment.

Alex Reeder was a senior psychology major at UW-Stevens Point where he was also a major part of the ROTC program as a third-year Pointer cadet preparing to serve his country as a leader in the U.S. Army. Alex joined the Pointer Company as a four-year scholarship winner and quickly rose to become the captain of the Pointers' Ranger Challenge team. He distinguished himself with outstanding academic and physical achievement but will always be most remembered for his friendship and selfless desire to help others.

Alex Reeder epitomized what it meant to be a UWSP Pointer Cadet and a leader. This memorial ruck march is in honor of who he was and the legacy he left behind for others to follow. The funds gathered from this event will go to support the memorial scholarship presented to a Pointer cadet annually who exemplify the same commiment to excellence displayed by Alex.
