Event Recap

West hosted our first annual ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) Panel last week Friday during AcLab when students who signed up for the event heard from Army, Navy, and Air Force reps in brief overview presentations which was followed by open tables for Q&A and discussion. For students looking to experience college life and serve their countries, this is an excellent option to do both as well as receive significant financial assistance in the process. If you missed the event and would like more information about ROTC, please contact Mr. Lorenz.

All scheduled rep visits can be found on the College Visits Page HERE. Below are the upcoming visits for the next two weeks. All visits will meet in the College & Career Center in Counseling unless otherwise stated. Click HERE for instructions on how to sign-up to meet with visit college representatives. Remember to sign up by 7:00 am the day of the visit in order to receive your pass to leave class.
