To close out the semester, we hosted our annual Dining Out in Batavia, NY. Cadets, loved ones, and family members came together, dressed up, and celebrated the end of another successful year. The evening featured words of wisdom from our Professor of Military Science, LTC Sim, who reflected on our growth, accomplishments, and the continued professionalism of our cadets.
As part of tradition, we also held our light‑hearted “grog” ceremony—an opportunity to highlight memorable moments, lessons learned, and the camaraderie built throughout the year. Our outgoing MSIVs were honored with symbolic ingredients representing the branches they will soon join, marking the beginning of their next chapter as Army officers.
