Your consideration in allowing them to complete course assignments and work in compliance with these university’s policies* is appreciated.  Thank you for your support and cooperation.  Additional details are below.

Activity: Training at University of Wisconsin - Stout for Leaders Developmental Training Exercise with ROTC Departments from Universities of Wisconsin - Eau Claire and Stout, these are our partner schools.
Academic Rationale for Absence: Students will be doing military training with our partner schools that will help build camaraderie among our program.   They will be put in leadership positions to train and lead other cadets and learn valuable leadership skills. This will also enable then to learn to work with new members of a team.

8.2.11 University Sponsored Off-campus Activities and Field Trips: Students will not be penalized for missing class in order to participate in University sanctioned events. If class attendance is a requirement, missing a class in order to participate in a University-sanctioned event will not be counted as an absence. Such absences do not relieve the students of any of their class responsibilities (e.g., homework, exams, lecture notes, etc.). Students are responsible for completing course requirements that are due on the dates of University-sanctioned events per prior agreement with the instructor. A University-sanctioned event is defined to be any extracurricular event (e.g., educational field trips or conferences, theatrical performances, intercollegiate athletic contests, musical performance or tours, etc.) as approved by the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
