In a March 10 press release, the Corps of Cadets announced 12 of its most senior leadership positions for the 2023-24 academic year. This upcoming school year will be the first of a realigned structure, aimed to provide “a greater span of control across the organization, while positioning the Corps for long-term, sustainable growth,” in line with the March to 3,000 campaign.
