Twenty-Second Model NATO Conference, Washington, DC.
February 21-24, 2007

One of 26 NATO delegations, the five Citadel cadets represented the Republic of Turkey at the four-day conference. Preparation for the conference began early in the Fall 2006 semester and included detailed studies of current NATO operations, alliance dynamics and key issues as well as an equally thorough analysis of Turkey’s government, domestic politics and foreign and security policies associated with its strategic location between Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Criminal Justice cadets meet with FBI Director
Citadel Alumni Director Mike Rogers has connections at the FBI thanks to an earlier 20-year career with the agency.
Now he gives criminal justice majors the benefits of his connections with an annual trip to Washington, D.C.
Earlier this month, nine cadets toured the FBI and met with FBI director Robert Mueller. Muller is familier with The Citadel according to Rogers who said the director recalled his days in combat in Vietnam when he had Citadel grads on his left and his right.
"I knew they would not let me down," Mueller told the group. "I have the highest regard for The Citadel and what it produces."
