The SCU Military Science Program develops leaders of character through mentorship, discipline, and service. Day of Giving support helps resource cadet development opportunities and key battalion experiences that strengthen leadership growth.
This year, thanks to donor support, our senior class completed a Staff Ride to South Korea—an immersive experience built on weeks of preparation and on-the-ground learning. Staff Rides deepen understanding of leadership and decision-making by connecting research to terrain, context, and reflection. We’re grateful for the alumni and supporters who make opportunities like this possible.
