Reserve Officers' Training Corps

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences trains young men and women to serve our nation through three branches of Reserve Officers’ Training Corps: Air Force, Army and Naval ROTC. Cadets gain invaluable character-building skills, a diverse, self-disciplined civilian education and leadership development training.

The biggest thing I took away from ASU and being a cadet here is developing others. The Army’s leadership model is "leads, develops, achieves" and I kind of took that develop one to heart. When I was an underclassman a lot of the seniors and cadre took time out of their schedule to mold me into the person I am today.
