Eighty-one years after Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, 20 Naval ROTC (NROTC) midshipmen recently trod the same ground to soak up the lessons from history’s largest seaborne invasion. The USC students were there not just to visit some of the world’s most famous battle sites, but to conduct research about the invasion as well as specific fallen soldiers.

“It was not just studying amphibious operations or joint warfare. I wanted them to deepen their understanding of our legacy and what that legacy means for all of our sailors and Marines who came before them,” said U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Mallory Vanderschans, who planned and co-led the experiential learning trip.

erving in Naval ROTC enriched my Cornell experience and helped me throughout life in learning to work with, and listen to, people from different perspectives. I am thankful for the opportunities during my years in NROTC, which took me out of my comfort zone and challenged me academically.

The Navy required classes I would never have taken, ranging from naval architecture and engineering, celestial navigation, calculus, and business management to something brand-new called “computer science.”

In September 1968, I signed up for NROTC in Barton Hall in a new class of 77 midshipmen out of about 300 total in the unit.
