Project Global Officer (Project GO) is a collaborative initiative that promotes critical language education, study abroad, and intercultural dialogue opportunities for Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) students. Project GO programs focus on the languages and countries of the Middle East, Asia, Central Asia, Africa, and South America.
Project GO, the "Global Officer" initiative, is 25 universities and Cadet Command ROTC programs working together to develop future military officers who possess the cross-cultural communication skills required for effective leadership in the 21st-century operational environment. The U.S. military needs officers who know critical languages and understand other cultures.

"I did Project GO during the summer of 2019, studying Japanese at Kansas University. I had no prior knowledge of any Japanese, and the program was quite intense and fast pace from learning 8 months worth of material in 2 months. However, I found it all to be worth it by the end as I was able to read, write, and speak basic levels of Japanese. I made some great friends during my time there and was able to explore Kansas as I have never been there before. If given the chance again, I would do it again and I highly recommend anyone to apply or at least take a look at the program."
