CLASS OF 1983
40th CLASS REUNION WEEKEND

Registration is now open for our 40th Reunion activities for the weekend of November 2-4, 2023. Hopefully, you have already taken care of lodging. As we told you before, hotels in Charleston are no longer booking blocks of rooms without us having to pay for them even if they are not reserved. 

The sections below provide information and links to:

  1. Register for the Reunion
  2. Buy Swag
  3. Buy Football Tickets
  1. The “Register for the Reunion” site is to let us know if you are attending Thursday evening’s get together at Mainland Container Company in Mt. Pleasant, register and pay for attending the Friday night party at The Citadel Beach Club and the Saturday Tailgate. Please note there is an option for the tailgate of buying a “guest under 21”, in which the bar cost has been taken out. ALL EVENT REGISTRATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY OCTOBER 15TH AT MIDNIGHT TO ENSURE WE HAVE ENOUGH FOOD FOR THE EVENTS. Walk-ups for events will be charged a cash-only premium.

  2. Once you register and pay for the events, go to the “Buy Swag” site .  Our reunion shirt this year is a light blue polo with “The Citadel, Class of 1983” on the chest. There is also a ladies shirt and a men’s and ladies vest being offered for purchase.  Please note: if you need a Tall size men’s shirt, the brand changes and there is a slight increase in price.  We would like all classmates to at least purchase the shirt to wear the day of Homecoming, but of course this and the ladies shirts and the vests are voluntary. ALL SWAG ORDERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 AT 12:00 NOON TO ENSURE YOU RECEIVE YOUR ITEMS PRIOR TO REUNION WEEKEND.

  3. If you need to purchase football tickets in the Class of 1983 Block, use the “Buy Football Tickets” link. If you already have season tickets, you can call the ticket office and switch your tickets for this game to the Class Block. THE FOOTBALL BLOCK PURCHASE WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL OCTOBER 4TH.
If anyone has any questions, please email me at bill.yaeger@citadelfoundation.org. I can also be reached at (843) 437-2694 by call or text.
