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 dean’s list is a recognition given to cadets and students who are registered for 12 or more semester hours with a GPA of 3.20 or higher.

After years of preparations and planning, the Capers Hall ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Saturday, Sept. 9, to officially commemorate The Citadel’s newest academic building.

The Citadel’s new Capers Hall features a training SCIF, where cadets and students will learn how to work with classified information.

Capers Hall, the Citadel’s new humanities and social sciences building, will be set to open next week, filled with numerous amenities for cadets, faculty and the community.

Members of The Citadel Class of 2027 will arrive on campus Saturday, August 12.

The Citadel is expanding and improving its campus safety notification system — Bulldog Alert — that is used to communicate important information to The Citadel Community in times of emergency.
