The committee also serves as liaison between the University and the ROTC community and provides policy advice to the Provost when necessary. The committee will meet with ROTC unit commanders each fall and maintain familiarity with the personnel and programs of each ROTC unit. In addition, the chair or a representative of the committee will attend functions such as commissioning exercises, Veterans' Day commemoration, and other special events.
