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 Marquette University,  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
