| SCOPE | |||||||||
| This course further develops cadets in each of the four programs: Academic, Military, Physical, Character to prepare them for future leadership opportunities at USMA and to compete for post-graduate scholarship opportunities. This approach is accomplished through a series of meetings that focus on mentorship, research opportunities, written and oral communication skill development, and leadership development. Although this course has no pre- or co-requisites, it reinforces XH102/XH201 and encourages cadets to apply for XH Programs and develop their personal life stories to create personal statements tied to their research interests. A two-page reflective essay is completed by the course's end. Further, an application to the West Point Graduate Scholarship Program will be developed. A final pass/no-credit grade determination is recorded on the cadet transcript. | |||||||||
