ROTC Open House

Are you curious about ROTC and what a day in the life of a ROTC Cadet or Midshipmen is like? Stop by Clark Hall and check out our virtual reality simulators, take some swag and let us answer questions about our fitness program, leadership course, or our full tuition or housing scholarships and career opportunities that fit your degree.

For over 50 years, Clark Hall has been home to the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) hosting a legacy of Huskies who served in the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps as commissioned officers. Our Cadets and Midshipmen welcome you to UW and will share their experiences of ROTC – how they practice leadership everyday, stay fit, balance cadet and student life, and have access to world wide internships and training opportunities.

Many have full tuition and housing scholarships. All are committed to developing their Character, share a strong desire to Lead, and aspire to serve our nation proudly.  Learn their ROTC why and how this might be a good fit for you and your overall Husky experience.
