Welcome to all of our Gold Corps Reunion class members! The Gold Corps Reunion is for classes who have celebrated their 50th Reunions so we are happy to welcome the Class of 1974 to their first Gold Corps! Gold Corps has become a Citadel tradition. Attendees enjoy the standard “big weekend” events without the crowds and when the weather is much milder. In addition, there are activities just for Gold Corps scheduled throughout the weekend. The photo here is from last year's event.
