what it’s like to be part of one of the most dynamic and enriching leadership programs at
North Carolina State University? Want to know how to get involved with scholarship
opportunities, make great friends, and have opportunities most will never see?
Air Force ROTC Detachment 595 will host "Shadow Day," an opportunity for high school
seniors and juniors interested in N.C. State University's Air Force ROTC program to come "shadow" a
cadet and experience daily life as both a student and cadet. The day begins with attending an informational
session with our Detachment Commander in the morning. Then you will accompany a cadet as he or she attends
classes and goes to lunch. You will have the opportunity to experience campus and get a feel for the daily
routine of being enrolled at N.C. State as a cadet in Air Force ROTC. Finally, you will also have the chance
to talk to Active Duty officers of various career fields and learn what opportunities await you if you choose
to pursue a career in the United States Air Force!
This spring we will host a Shadow Day; registration for this event is linked below with the event being held March 20, 2013.
