The Open House Event was an effort to increase ROTC awareness on campus and recruit more cadets before the university add/drop date.

The tables included a Tactical Gear Demonstration, ROTC Recruitment Table, the Career Center, Travis Manion Foundation, USAR and NG, and the Temple Veterans Association. Additionally, a medical recruitment team lead by CPT Manning, set up a combat casualty scenario in the STAR Center to attract health profession students.

Cadets work together to assemble a rope bridge on Liacouras Walk.

MSIII Juniors lead the initiative and insured safety during the demonstration.

The Ranger Challenge Team rappels off of the Bio Life building.

Students, Faculty, and community members all line up to participate in physical fitness challenges and to learn more about Army ROTC.
