***2/10/2019 Please note: I am no longer updating the blog posts for Citadel parents. See the official school website for the most up to date information***
A few parents in the Facebook group for 2020 parents have joined this week. We are now at 497 members of the group. All members are 2020 parents along with five parents of grads who help answer questions.
Most Matriculation Day and Weekend information can be found on the school website and this blog, but to make it easier to find I’ll include a few links here:
The Matriculation Headquarters page has the essential information. Read every link and all hyper links on the pages.
The Commandant’s Matriculation Information page is linked on the Matriculation Headquarters page and also has essential information.
My previous blog post about Matriculation Weekend includes some tips for parents.
Saturday, August 13 at 5:30 there is a dinner planned for 2020 families. The Charleston Citadel Club is hosting the event and allowing us to use their registration system. Advance reservations are required, Register HERE. Just enter Parent of Student from the drop down menu when it asks for Company name. Members of The Citadel Foundation and The Citadel Alumni Association are also helping with the event.
The Citadel main web site has a page for parents which includes helpful information including this page titled What to expect on Matriculation Day.
Another important link on the parents page of the school web site is for all parents and cadets to review titled Important Conversations to have with incoming Freshman and Upper Class.
The Useful Links page on the parent’s page is also a good one to book mark.
On this blog site there is a page called Helpful Web Links to help you find the web pages parents use most often as well as helpful blog posts.
Book mark this entry for easy reference later. Enjoy the time you have left with your soon-to-be knob. You’ve got this.
