AROTC Staff

Norwich University Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (AROTC) trains, mentors and develops Cadets as agile and adaptive leaders of character to commission into the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve, and U.S. Army National Guard.

The staff of the AROTC at Norwich University plays a vital role in shaping future Army officers by providing them with the necessary training, education, and mentorship to succeed in their military careers.

The ROTC staff collaborates with Norwich University to ensure that the program aligns with the university's academic standards and requirements. They work closely with university administrators and faculty to provide a seamless experience for Cadets.
