Recognition Day and Corps Day
Friday, March 21 – Saturday, March 22
Various times
The Citadel campus
Select events are open to the public
Recognition Day, which will be held during the last weekend of March, is when knobs are officially recognized as members of the Corps of Cadets after months of rigorous training exercises.
That process begins with what is known as The Gauntlet and culminates with a march to Marion Square and the iconic Freshmen Oath Renewal Ceremony. It is one of the most important events in a cadet career.
Recognition Day is a momentous occasion in the life of a knob. It means the end of rigid formations, walking in single file at a rapid pace and the highly regimented way of life that is The Citadel’s fourth-class system.
Corps Day, the birthday of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets and one of the most highly attended weekends at The Citadel, will also be celebrated that weekend. Attractions include dress parades, awards presentations, special cadet performances and athletic events.
