The second weekend in November will hold one of The Citadel’s biggest events on campus — Homecoming 2024 — hosted by The Citadel Alumni Association.
Alumni of all ages will return to their alma mater with a special celebration for the Class of 1974, who will be celebrating their 50th reunion. Other classes marking milestone reunions include those ending in ‘4 and ‘9.
Homecoming festivities, which begin on Thursday, Nov. 7, include a football game versus Chattanooga, a performance by the Summerall Guards, parades and more.
