During the 2015 Meliora Weekend, the NROTC Unit will be
hosting a “NROTC Alumni Leadership Panel” with a broad spectrum of professional
expertise and experience. The panel
discussion will feature former Midshipmen alums, each having served in the Navy
or Marine Corps during a different era of conflict in the past
half-century.
As in previous leadership panels, the upcoming panel’s
objectives will be four-fold:
First, as part of the Meliora Weekend, the panel is a
great venue for alumni of different graduating classes to interact with
successful classmates. It opens up
greater opportunity for dialogue and networking between those with a key common
experience. In this case, NROTC and
military service in the Navy or Marine Corps.
Second, the panel affords the opportunity for current
NROTC Midshipmen to gain insight into the importance of the alumni body, to
begin interaction and networking with those in various fields, and to broaden
their perspective of career opportunities.
Third, it unequivocally emphasizes that success can be
reached by pursuing many paths. Again,
for the current Midshipmen this can lead to an active duty military career, to
an active/reserve combination or to using their military experience as a
springboard into an entirely different field, nationally or
internationally. In order to capitalize
on the diversity of NROTC graduates, we are inviting panelists from a variety
of career choices and backgrounds.
Finally, I am certain that interaction with today’s
Midshipmen--tomorrow’s junior officers--will be reassuring to those of you who
have already served especially any lessons learned from your experiences that
you can impart to Midshipmen. We have an
outstanding group of leaders preparing to take the reins of leadership of our
Navy and Marine Corps.
We truly hope you can join us for Meliora Weekend and our
NROTC Unit events.
