2007 Commencement Challenge

At The Citadel's Commencement ceremony in May, Joe Zoretic was the last cadet to cross the stage, receive his diploma, and join the Class of 2007.

In keeping with Citadel tradition, he addressed his graduating classmates, issuing them a challenge to embrace their new alumni status and always stay connected with their alma mater.

We are pleased to share his message with the entire Citadel family. Please accept this challenge to remain an active and engaged member of the Long Gray Line.

As Pat Conroy said; "I wear the ring..." The Citadel is an American Icon.

that was my buddy Joe. Great guy and an awesome speech he gave for us. the criticizing thing was just a general statement of classes that like to say the school was going downhill.

Anyone know what he meant by not wanting to criticize the class before (00:25)? What did they do?
