Shadow a Cadet

Shadow a Cadet Days

The in-person Shadow a Cadet Days provides high school Juniors and Seniors (16 years old and older) the opportunity to experience one day in the life of a Cadet. This is a great way to get acquainted with Army ROTC, meet current and prospective Cadets, and see the principles of scholar / athlete / leader in action. Shadow students are partnered with a current Cadet in a major similar of interest. Students arrive on Sunday afternoon, spend the night at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ,  participate in AROTC Physical Fitness on Monday morning, attend university classes that the host Cadet is enrolled in, eat in a university cafeteria, and potentially attend AROTC and university extracurricular activities. It ends on Monday at approximately 1:00pm. Packing List and  Sample Itinerary
