Advocates for Tufts ROTC
The Advocates for Tufts ROTC representing Air Force, Army, Marine, and Navy alumni of Tufts University and friends of Tufts ROTC, was organized in 2005 to encourage continuance as well as increased enrollment of ROTC participants at Tufts and to work closely with a supportive Tufts administration. (Read more about the Faculty's recent vote to acknowledge cadets' completion of ROTC on their transcripts in the the Tufts Daily.)
The Advocates work with the Tufts University Alumni Association each year to plan the annual Tufts Veteran's Day ceremony. The event includes a passing of the flag, speech by an alumni veteran, and lunch reception. Current Tufts ROTC students are invited to attend, along with local alumni, faculty, and staff who are supportive of Tufts ROTC.
