Cadet Admissions
A unit of Enrollment Management
Women undergo the same leader development and education program and are treated the same as men in the Corps. Women have held every rank in the Corps of Cadets from private to colonel. Approximately 10% of the Corps of Cadets are women (70-80 Cadets). Women room with other women in the same Cadet residence halls as male Cadets. Women have separate bathrooms. Some of our women Cadets are highlighted below.
" The Corps has the ability to fine tune your leadership abilities and makes natural leaders even stronger than they ever thought possible. I was not a confident leader before I came to the Corps, but as I am leaving four years later, I feel like I will be able to make decisions not just for myself, but for my platoon. I truly feel that the Corps has prepared me to be an Army lieutenant, and today I hold my head up high, ready to take on any challenge.” 2LT Caitlin French, Class of 2010

| (Jan. 6, 2011) Kelli Foley, graduated from North Georgia College & State University with a bachelor's degree in International Affairs and received her commission in December 2010 as a second lieutenant in the US Army (Engineer  Corps). "I'm planning on staying in for the long haul. I want to get as much training and experience as I can," she said. "I'm interested in deploying. I don't want to miss that opportunity. This is our generation's opportunity to go to war ....I didn't want the ROTC experience like you're going to find at your standard college, where you go in uniform once or twice a week ... I wanted the 24-hour type of experience. That's what you're going to have on active duty, so you might as well get used to it." Foley was a member of the Golden Eagle Band and rose through the ranks to become its leader. She also graduated as a Distinguished Military Student, a designation earned by those cadets who ranked in the top 20 percent on the National Order of Merit List. While earning her degree in international affairs, Foley studied abroad in China and learned conversational Mandarin Chinese. She's hoping to use her degree and eventual military experience to spend a career in either civil affairs or psychological operations -- jobs that mean working with native peoples in their own countries. "They're the people who are on the ground with the locals, and that's something I'm really interested in," she said. |
