Cadets recognized for achievements at 2017 Awards Convocation

2017 May 17

At the Awards Convocation on May 4, more than 50 awards were presented to cadets in recognition of their outstanding accomplishments.

Christopher Woods received The Cadet Medal of Valor. This award is presented to a cadet who distinguishes him or herself by acts of heroism. The act must result in an exceptional and outstanding accomplishment that involved acceptance of danger or extraordinary responsibilities. While driving home on March 2, 2017, Woods noticed a serious car accident involving an overturned van and airstream trailer on interstate 26 near exit 129 outside of Columbia. Woods pulled his truck over and made sure the victims were safely removed before emergency crews could arrive.
