UNM Army ROTC Shadow Program Information

Website: Army ROTC Lobo Battalion

Who it's for: Seniors and juniors interested in joining Army ROTC at UNM

The University of New Mexico Army ROTC Cadet Shadow Program is designed for high school seniors and juniors to spend the “day in the life” of an Army ROTC cadet. I would like to invite you to spend a day with one of our students. The program should provide you with a glimpse of what it is like as a cadet in Army ROTC at UNM.

We will host on Thursdays to coincide with our ROTC classes and our weekly leadership lab. Plan to arrive at the Army ROTC building at 9:15 AM on the day you are scheduled to shadow. We are located at 1836 Lomas Boulevard on the University of New Mexico campus. Shadow students will be able to attend all Army ROTC classes, university classes, and participate in his/her sponsor cadet’s daily activities.

Please complete the Shadow Visit Form to assist us in assigning you a sponsor. Simply fill in the boxes on the document, save it, and send it back as an attachment to an email. Once you are assigned a sponsor cadet, that cadet will contact you to work out the specifics of your visit.

You will be responsible for transportation to and from UNM and your meals for the day. Ensure you wear appropriate clothing based on the weather. Additionally, ensure you have shoes that allow you to walk around on uneven desert terrain.

Questions? Contact Mr. Erik Sevigny (UNM ARMY ROTC Enrollment Officer) at 505-277-2270.
