Initiatives
Building National Infrastructure
With the exception of the Senior Military Colleges, all Project GO Hub institutions serve as national resources for critical language instruction for ROTC students. Hub institutions serve as national resources by offering language instruction and study abroad options during the summer, thereby allowing all ROTC students in the country, regardless of the location of their home institutions, to utilize scholarship opportunities for domestic and overseas language study.
Building national infrastructure for summer study is particularly critical for languages such as Hindi-Urdu, Persian, Uzbek, and Swahili, for which there are very few national resources and there is very low student enrollment nationally; pooling resources and students offers the most cost-effective option for developing officers with experience in these regions and languages.
