Nine students in the South Carolina Corps of Cadets are now the new faces of leadership for the 2017-2018 academic year.

The Office of the Commandant has announced the rising leadership in the Corps. The Citadel’s mission to educate and develop students into principled leaders is woven into the curriculum and is an integral part of the military system at the college. These top student officers will lead approximately 70 cadet officers next year with positions ranging from battalion sergeant majors to company first sergeants. The Citadel’s president, Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa, The Citadel’s Provost, Brig. Gen. Connie Ledoux Book, Ph.D., and the Commandant of Cadets, Capt. Geno Paluso recognized the new cadet leaders during a ceremony on Wednesday, April 26.

The Citadel proudly congratulates this upcoming group of commanders and regimental staff.
