South Africa study abroad offers hands-on learning

Biology major Mike Norris wanted a study abroad opportunity that would provide experiential learning in the field. From up-close encounters with elephants and snakes to experiences with indigenous people, Norris’ experience in South Africa has enabled Norris to “break away from a traditional classroom setting” while experiencing different cultures and developing new professional skillsets.

Learn more about his study abroad experiences in the AUM Pressroom.

6th Annual ROTC Denim Day

Join Army ROTC in honoring Sexual Assault Awareness Month by wearing jeans to work and school.

In 1999, an Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore tight jeans. The very next day, the women of the Italian parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim.

For the past five years, Army ROTC has helped promote the Denim Day campaign and bring awareness to sexual assault prevention. Let’s all show our support!
