ARMY ROTC
ROTC OFFERS MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO EXCEL
In Army ROTC, it's not all classroom and field training. There are many opportunities for you to get to know your fellow cadets better and increase your skills in a variety of areas. Learn more about these events and activities below.
Cadets and their dates at Military Ball
Cadets enjoy numerous activities through ROTC in addition to military training, for instance formal events, intramural sports, and color guard.
“ Military Ball is a blast and a great reason to get dressed up! The Dining In is also a good time- you get to hang out with your peers and don’t have to worry about a leadership evaluation. ”

RANGER CHALLENGE
The Ranger Challenge is an opportunity for schools to "compete" with each other completing military tasks. In addition to a written examination where Cadets test their Army knowledge, there are physical fitness drills and field exercises. Battalions leave a Ranger Challenge with stronger bonds and sharper skills.
PERSHING RIFLES
The National Society of Pershing Rifles gives Army ROTC Cadets the opportunity to develop to the highest degree possible. Cadets can take part in precision trick rifle drill teams that provide them with the outstanding traits of leadership, military bearing and discipline.
Commissioning Ceremony
Each year, qualified cadets are commissioned into the United States Army during ceremonies held on the Brockport campus. Families, friends, The College President and other distinguished guests take part in the commissioning.
Sports
Several cadets participate in varsity athletics, and find that their fellow cadets come out in force to support them. The cadets also participate in intramural sports, and field a Ranger Challenge team each fall to compete in the “varsity sport” of ROTC.
Color Guard
Cadets show support of Brockport Athletics by providing the Color Guard.
