MARCH TO 3,000 UPDATE

As the Corps of Cadets continues on the March to 3,000 , there are a few key updates about our organization that I’d like to share with you.

Each of these updates were made with the future, continued success of the Corps in mind.

• The Corps of Cadets organization was reorganized this past fall to account for improved span of control and anticipated growth . For the first time in decades, the Corps reintroduced minor units to the leadership structure. Effective the 2023-2024 academic year , the Corps structure will include 4 major units and 11 battalion/group units .

• The Office of the Commandant has restructured into functional areas to strengthen collaboration amongst teams and provide more in-depth support to cadets .

• The Office of the Commandant has added term recruiter positions to the Corps recruiting team. Term recruiters are recent graduates of the Corps who will function as embedded recruiters in Prospective Student Center (PSC) locations . Houston and Dallas are the first target PSC locations where term recruiters will focus their efforts.

• Through collaboration with TAMU Health , the Office of the Commandant will add Corps Performance Coaches to our staff . These Corps Performance Coaches will integrate a focused approach to building life-skills and resiliency into the cadet experience . The focus will be on the whole cadet to include physical, mental, nutritional and spiritual health.

• The Office of the Commandant has worked with Faculty Affair s to fund and begin hiring four Professors of Practice . These Professors of Practice will facilitate the integration of leadership theory taught in the classroom with practical application to create an immersive leadership development experience that touches every aspect of cadet daily life . The Professor of Practice will have 20+ years of experience as either a military officer or C-suite leader and possess experience or equivalent education in leadership and organizational development.

We look forward to seeing these new developments in action across the Quad. The Corps of Cadets continues to be an organization that is dedicated to the success and well-being of each student , and we are excited to see the ways in which these updates will benefit the Corps experience for years to come.
