The review is an annual tradition that showcases Army and Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets from Syracuse University and its partner schools. Participants conduct drill and ceremony exercises and receive academic and leadership awards and honors.

If you’re highly competitive, have a desire to serve your country, and want both certainty and flexibility in your future career, consider the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program. You’ll simultaneously earn the commission of second lieutenant in the U.S. Army or Air Force and a Syracuse University degree. You’ll combine leadership training with a regular academic major—a combination that will prepare you for both military and civilian careers.

Syracuse’s AFROTC is proud to offer you the opportunity to distinguish yourself as a student and a leader by becoming a cadet in the AFROTC program.
