ROTC Offers Many Opportunities to Excel

In Army ROTC, it's not all classroom and field training. There are many opportunities for you to get to know your fellow cadets better and increase your skills in a variety of areas. Learn more about these events and activities below.

Ranger Challenge

The Ranger Challenge is an opportunity for schools to "compete" with each other completing military tasks. In addition to a written examination where Cadets test their Army knowledge, there are physical fitness drills and field exercises. Battalions leave a Ranger Challenge with stronger bonds and sharper skills.

Pershing Rifles

The National Society of Pershing Rifles gives Army ROTC Cadets the opportunity to develop to the highest degree possible. Cadets can take part in precision trick rifle drill teams that provide them with the outstanding traits of leadership, military bearing and discipline.

Commissioning Ceremony

We commissioned 13 new Lieutenants in May 2007, and expect to commission at least 17 in 2008.

Gettysburg Battle Ground Visit

Each spring cadets have the opportunity to tour the battlefields in Gettysburg, PA. During the visit cadets can expect to analyze terrain and battle tactics used during the Civil War.

The Run Around Washington DC Mall

At the end of each semester cadets can expect to participate in a running tour of the monuments in Washington DC. During the run, the senior cadets will explain the significance and history of each monument we pass. This short, but informative run begins at the United States Capital Building and ends at the Lincoln Memorial.
