At The Citadel, August marked a month of beginnings.

The history-making class of 2030 reported to campus. The Citadel President Gen. Frank McKenzie, USMC (Ret.), ’79, began his first academic year at the helm of the Military College of South Carolina. And classrooms once again filled with students and faculty.

From Matriculation Day to the first formations, as well as the classes and traditions of the new semester, these photos capture The Citadel as another academic year gets underway. Here are some of the moments from around campus in August.

Digital-use downloads are now available through The Citadel’s photo store. Prints may also be purchased in the store. To browse The Citadel’s collection of photographs, click here.
