A look at some of the events happening in and around The Citadel’s campus, including dress parades, Homecoming 2020, 9/11 memorials, and more.

Lt. Col. Eric Kut, Class of 2002, was the mission commander of the C-17 Globemaster aircraft that brought 823 passengers to safety on Aug 15.

After a few days of settling in, freshmen are met with a shocking feat, Challenge Week, in preparation for their first year at school.

Deon Jackson is a member of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets Class of 1999; he also earned master’s degrees from The Citadel in ’05 and ’13.

at 5:30 p.m., the group of knobs, led by the upperclassmen tasked with training them, marched onto Summerall Field to take the Cadet Oath.

The Citadel is welcoming the nearly 700 cadet-recruits who comprise the Class of 2025, coming to campus from 39 states and 10 countries.

“I am confident the Corps of Cadets will help lead us out of this pandemic; therefore, I am incentivizing cadets to get vaccinated with an overnight. Additionally, the company with the highest vaccination rate will be excused from the Commandant’s Inspection.”

“We are ready for the challenges the pandemic brings, and maintain resources and best practices used during the last academic year.”

Our year was unique compared to many institutions, as The Citadel maintained a safe, on-campus experience, while keeping COVID cases in check.
