The Citadel has just snipped the ceremonial blue ribbon to open the new Capers Hall, which houses the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The previous building of the same name was demolished in 2021 to make way for the new one, which was designed by the architectural firm Woolpert.

“Both the contributions and outcomes of our cadets, students, faculty, staff and supporters have made our long-running success possible, and we appreciate the recognition of that hard work.”

The President’s List, awarded for academic and military excellence, is one of the most distinguished cadet awards presented by The Citadel.

Gold stars are awarded each semester to cadets and students who have earned a grade point ratio of 3.7 or higher.

The Military College of South Carolina will host an event titled “The Wheel of Time: Books to Film at The Citadel” on Tuesday, Oct. 3, at 6:30 p.m.
