Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders Today
Scientists and teachers, business leaders and policy makers, and officers for the US Army. USM and its Army ROTC program prepare students to be innovators and leaders for the 21st century. We produce lieutenants for the active Army, the National Guard, and the US Army Reserves. Each component has 16 branches that cater to multiple interests, including infantry, military intelligence, aviation, engineering, armor and medical services corps. Warriors wanted, each with a breadth of perspective who:
- Demonstrate a capacity for excellence
- Confident they will be competent Army leaders because of the rigor of the program
- Committed to the Army for the duration and open-minded about further service
Our Programs
When you become part of the Army ROTC, you're not just working toward a diploma, but an even brighter future as a leader alongside other motivated Cadets.

GCRL Science Cafe Virtual and In-person at GCRL
Please join us for this hybrid GCRL Science Café In person at the GCRL Campus in the Caylor Building, Room 104 Webinar ID: 819 9901 1694 http://usm-edu.zoom.us/j/81999011694 Visit our website: http://qa8oo.hfqsxx.com/gulf-coast-research-laboratory/gcrl-science-cafe.php Presented by Cailtin Young, PhD Student in Coastal Sciences Topic: Seagrasses are important actors in coastal systems and provide many ecosystem services, benefitting nature and people alike. However, seagrass communities are threatened by many natural and man-mediated processes. In particular, hurricanes and tropical storms have a unique relationship with seagrass beds. Long-term monitoring of both seagrass community health and physical aspects of the habitat can help us gain insight to how storms shape seagrass communities and, in turn, how seagrass beds provide coastal protection. Cookies, coffee, and other treats are complimentary. Masks are available. Special “Thanks” to the sponsor of the Science Café, MS-AL Sea Grant, and USM’s Marine Education Center for tech support.

Executing Mississippi's Punishment Clause with Dr. William Berry at Gonzales Auditorium
The Mississippi courts have long interpreted the Mississippi Constitution’s punishment clause, which bars “cruel or unusual punishment,” in the same way as the U.S. Supreme Court interprets the Eighth Amendment, which bars “cruel and unusual punishments.” This assumption of the Mississippi courts—that the two clauses mean the same thing—is contrary to both the relevant history and basic principles of state constitutional law. Find out more about how Mississippi's clause has been and should be interpreted and the implication of the clause for penal reform in this lecture by Dr. William Berry, Associate Dean for Research and Montague and Professor of Law at The University of Mississippi. This is a hybrid event. Those off-campus can join 15 minutes before the start time via the Webex link.
