CHARLESTON, S.C. – Dylan Wood, of Akron, will be one of the cadets entrusted to lead the South Carolina Corps of Cadets during the 2020-21 academic year.
Each year, around Corps Day/Recognition Day weekend, The Office of the Commandant announces the next group of cadets who will lead the corps for the upcoming year.
Despite the interruptions to campus life, The Citadel is carrying on its traditions.
"There are many ways The Citadel works to educate and develop our cadets into principled leaders, and also to celebrate them when they accept that mantle of responsibility," said Capt. Eugene Paluso, the commandant of cadets. "Announcing next year's leadership is just as important as making sure our current freshmen class was recognized as members of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets. These are two examples of our leadership laboratory here, and it's important that events like this happen in whatever way possible, regardless of COVID-19."
The Citadel's mission to educate and develop cadets into principled leaders is the driving force behind the integral military system at the college, which is in operation at all times when school is in session, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
