Graduation Plans

This May, approximately 1,000 cadets and Citadel Graduate College students will graduate from The Citadel. The college is laying the groundwork for in-person commencement ceremonies for both groups, and the speakers for the ceremonies are prepared to address cadets, students and their guests in person. Each graduate will be provided with electronic tickets for a limited number of guests because the college anticipates the need for continued social distancing.
“We surveyed last year’s graduates to ask what the two most important factors of commencement were to them. Overwhelmingly, the answers were to graduate alongside their classmates and to have their parents and family present,” said Citadel President Gen. Glenn M. Walters. “This year, with more time to plan than we had last spring, we are thrilled to be able to make that happen.”
