2016 Sep 16

Papa Company has been awarded the President's Cup for the 2015-16 school year. The President's Cup was established by General Hugh P. Harris, president of The Citadel from 1965-70. It is awarded annually to the cadet company that establishes the highest combined score in academic achievement, military performance, extracurricular participation and fourth class retention during the previous academic year and is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a cadet company.

Bethany Reeves of Goose Creek, South Carolina (29445) was among 67 other cadets in Papa Company that were recognized for their contributions to the company's success during the 2015-16 school year.

For the year following the company's achievements this group of cadets is designated as the honor company for the Corps of Cadets, serving as ambassadors of The Citadel at special functions.
