Rings rapped, Families visited, pipers piped and the Class of 2020 got gold. Here’s a look back at Parents’ Weekend 2019.

Every fall dozens of Beaufort teenagers head to Charleston to begin the process of becoming a cadet at the Military College of South Carolina.

Throughout my time in the Corps, one of my biggest challenges has been knowing when to be Cadet Gibson and when to be Cecilia.

I could have gone to different colleges and universities for football. But I chose The Citadel because I did not want to go to a normal college.

Eight cadets were selected for a new, rigorous academic program as freshmen. The goal is to help them apply for prestigious universities and scholarships.

The Citadel was fascinating to me. I knew I wanted to be a part of this place and I wanted to earn my own ring.

Lo que me llevare de este lugar es el carácter, piel más dura, madurez, y el compañerismo que se construyó en estos cuatro años largos pero que siempre llevare con orgullo.

My Citadel band of gold represents what I see as my duty to be a part of something bigger than myself.
