February at The Citadel

In February at The Citadel, basketball season is in full swing and sophomores become corporals and learn how to lead freshmen. This year, awards reviews, the Greater Issues Series, and foggy days marked the month. Below is a collection of scenes from around campus captured by Citadel photographer Russ Pace.
