ARMY ROTC LEARNING COMMUNITY
A First-Year Learning Community
About
We see the future leader in you!
The Army ROTC (AROTC) Learning Community is designed for first-year students who are interested in exploring and experiencing the Army ROTC program firsthand. This community provides students with opportunities to develop leadership skills, strengthen academic success, and build meaningful connections while adjusting to college life.
The AROTC Learning Community supports students as they learn the foundations of leadership, teamwork, discipline, and service. While Army ROTC prepares students for future careers as Army Officers, the leadership training and professional development gained through the program are valuable in any career field or profession.
Through intentional programming, mentorship, study support, and community engagement, students will gain a shared understanding of Army culture and values while building camaraderie, esprit de corps, and a strong support network with peers, faculty, upperclassmen, and military professionals.
AROTC Learning Community Goals
Participants in the AROTC Learning Community will:
- Develop leadership skills that support success in military, academic, and professional environments.
