When emergencies struck in two very different places, cadets from The Citadel relied on their training and instincts to save lives.

One day every year, The Citadel cancels classes and replaces them with activities meant to enhance their leadership skills and ethical decision-making.

The third weekend in November will hold one of The Citadel’s biggest events on campus — Homecoming 2025.

Just last week, cadets were counting down the days until the Class of 2026 received their band of gold. Now, 531 soon-to-be graduates wear the ring.
