ROTC Living Learning Community
The ROTC Living Learning Community is for students who:
- Are enrolling in the ROTC program and a Military Science course
- Want to live in the same residence hall and form connections with other Army ROTC
students
- Want to participate in extracurricular activities that connect learning in and out
of the classroom.
Army ROTC partners with Western Kentucky University to recruit educate, develop, and
inspire ROTC Cadets in order to commission officers of character for the Total Army.
The Army ROTC Living Learning Community consists of a diverse group of first-year
students who are engaged in the Army ROTC program, and a variety of co-curricular
activities. The LIving Learning Community will create camaraderie and team building
among ROTC students, ensure each ROTC student is persistent in their academics and
connect ROTC students with faculty/staff to track student success through mentorship
opportunities. Students in the living learning community will have access to many
different opportunities to enhance their abilities and prepare them for their future
careers.
Students in the ROTC LLC enroll in up to two courses each semester, engage with their LLC
Fellow, and benefit from programming tailored to their needs and interests.
