The UNI ROTC program will remain on campus under a new structure from the Army. The program was identified in June for inactivation as part of a nationwide “rebalance and optimization” from the Army. University officials and the Iowa National Guard immediately began working on how to maintain on campus opportunities for students and cadets. This week the Army confirmed UNI’s ROTC program would stay on campus. Under the new structure, the program will transition to an extension unit of the University of Iowa’s ROTC program. UNI cadets will continue to complete all four years of their training on the UNI campus. UNI will celebrate their 40th year of ROTC with a special reunion during UNI Homecoming.
