ROTC Alumni Network: 2025-2026 News and Updates

As we begin 2026, the ROTC Alumni Network has so much of which to be proud. This past year, the ROTC Alumni Network focused on creating more in-person event opportunities for our alumni, culminating in our first annual Legacy Ball hosted on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Clayton Hall in Newark, Delaware.

For all of those who joined (105 attendees, including our Cadet Color Guard!), we hope you enjoyed an evening of camaraderie around fellow ROTC alumni and service members. Our very own, Brigadier General Karen Berry, addressed the group in remarks while attendees enjoyed dinner.

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026:

The ROTC Alumni Network is hoping to host one more in-person event in the spring, tentatively at the Army Museum as we did last year. More information to come!

Didn’t get a chance to support cadets last year? Please consider giving to the Military Science Department Fund.
