Mentorship Program:
This program links Morgan State University Cadets to Baltimore High
School students who are required to take High School Proficiency Test
in order to earn their diploma. The cadets meet with the students once
a week to tutor them in subjects such as Reading, English, and Mathematics.
Cadets also serve as mentors for those students seeking higher education
and those that move on to the work force.
Ranger Challenge:
Each year, top cadets from around the country gather to compete in the
Army ROTC's varsity sport: Ranger Challenge. This voluntary competition
offers outstanding teamwork training while demanding your best physical
and mental efforts. Events include orienteering, in which teams use
land navigation skills to find 40 checkpoints over a four-square mile
course; constructing a one-rope bridge, in which teams cross a 40-foot
water obstacle using a single rope and plenty of ingenuity; weapons
assembly, grenade assault, a ten kilometer ruck march, and an Army Physical
Fitness Test. When this intensive 36-hour competition is over, every
participant feels like a winner. The Watson's Rangers, our Ranger Challenge
team, trains year-round in preparation for this event and also assist
the MSIII's in preparation for Advance Camp.

Morgan's Color Guard presents our National colors at all home football
and basketball games. In addition to their service to the Morgan community,
the "Bear Battalion" color guard has had the privilege of
performing at civic and athletic events throughout the state and surrounding
areas.
Drill Team:
For the last three decades, our drill team has been relentless in the
pursuit of perfection. Winning honors at competitions all across the
country, the legacy of our drill team is a key point of pride to the
cadre, cadets, and alumni of Morgan State's ROTC program.
National Society of Pershing Rifles:
Since its founding in 1894 by General John J. Pershing, the National
Society of Pershing Rifles has set a high standard of excellence for
the members of the ROTC program. Promoting a sense of camaraderie, fellowship,
and espirit de corps, the National Society of Pershing Rifles is an
fraternal organization that seeks only the "best of the best"
within the Bear Battalion.
National Society of Pershing Angels:
The National Society of Pershing Angels was founded here at Morgan
State University in 1965 by thirty young women who felt that their beliefs
in the ideals of sisterhood and citizenship would contribute to the
development of a civic organization that not only represents the womanhood
of the "Bear Battalion" but of Morgan State as well.
