Leadership Opportunities

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
    -John Quincy Adams

It's been said that leadership is about taking people to places they would not go alone. At Norwich, you'll learn what that means by participating in a wide range of challenging leadership experiences designed to strengthen your mind and body.

Powerful opportunities focusing on leadership and character development are the norm at Norwich whether you're a traditional student or a member of The Corps of Cadets. This is the place where average people learn to become influential citizens and soldiers who change the world.

You'll develop competencies common to leaders through a series of situations and progressive levels of responsibility that test your limits. Those competencies will prepare you for the real world and put you in demand with employers.

As a member of The Corps, you'll have opportunities to lead groups of Cadets ranging from 10 to 1,100. You might become cadre your sophomore year and train incoming freshmen. As a junior or senior cadet, you might command a platoon, a company, a battalion or the entire regiment. In addition, all Cadets are required to participate in six semesters of ROTC, which offers additional leadership training opportunities.

Traditional students build leadership skills through community service, clubs and organizations, student life and athletics. You might organize a fund drive, co-chair an event, serve as captain of an athletic team or greet visitors as an ambassador for Norwich.
