We are proud to announce that Sophia M. Righthouse of Elizabeth, Colorado has been selected to serve as the 2024-25 Regimental Commander, the highest-ranking cadet of Norwich University’s Corps of Cadets (NUCC) and the seventh female cadet to lead the Corps since the university’s founding in 1819.

Cadet Master Sergeant Righthouse will be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army in April 2025. She is a dual major in Political Science and English with a minor in Leadership Studies and is the NUCC 2nd Battalion Public Affairs Non-commissioned Officer in Charge. A General I.D. White and three-year Army ROTC scholarship recipient, Righthouse has held ROTC leadership billets as a platoon leader and platoon sergeant, and serves as the Mountain and Cold Weather Company’s Public Affairs Officer contracted for photo coverage for training exercises.

Righthouse is also prominent in campus life as a feature editor and staff reporter for The Guidon, Norwich’s student newspaper, and founder and president of the Cover-to-Cover Book Club. She reintroduced the Norwich Cheerleading Club, is a Norwich Humanities Initiative Fellow Intern, a writing coach for the Center for Writing, and a Summer peer academic mentor. Honors include the President’s List for highest academic achievement, the Arthur Wallace “Pop” Peach Award awarded by the Norwich Department of Global Humanities, the Presidential Volunteer Service Gold Award for completing more than 250 hours of community service, and a proclamation by the County and City of San Diego as Sophia M. Righthouse Day on January 23, 2018.

After announcing the selection, BG McCollough noted, “An extremely talented group of fifteen junior cadets competed for this assignment, and Cadet Righthouse rose to the top. Her maturity, determination, enthusiasm, and dedication to the success of all cadets shone through during the interview and evaluation process. The Corps of Cadets has again produced a blue-chip leader who will lead the regiment with an eye towards the future and faithfulness to the past.”
