If you are attending or plan to attend Penn State Lehigh Valley and are interested in competing for a full tuition scholarship along with some of the best leadership 火车ing available, Army ROTC may be right for you. The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) provides an opportunity for college students to receive practical, hands-on leadership experience. The course teaches students to develop management, 沟通, and decision-making skills in a nonthreatening environment. Physical 火车ing and confidence-building activities also provide a chance for students to be physically and mentally challenged. This 火车ing is ultimately designed to give the college student the necessary leadership skills and “ability to think on one’s feet” required to be an officer in the United States Army.
