Cadet Leadership Academy at University of North Georgia

09/09/2026

As we approach 25 years since 9/11, we pause to remember the lives lost, honor those who answered the call to serve and reflect on the lasting impact of that day.

UNG’s annual Remembrance Ceremony will take place Thursday, September 10 at 6:30pm on the Gen. William “Lipp” Livsey Drill Field.

Col. Christian Durham, UNG’s new professor of military science and a 2001 graduate, will deliver the keynote address as we honor those we lost and recognize those who continue to serve.

Read Col. Durham’s story here:

Col. Christian Durham graduated from the University of North Georgia (UNG) and commissioned as an Infantry second lieutenant in May 2001. Four months later, the Sept. 11 attacks changed the trajectory of the nation and his career.

🐸FROG WEEK 🐸

Last Sunday, the newest FROGs arrived in Dahlonega to begin their leadership journey.

Early mornings, long days and plenty of firsts followed. They got their uniforms, learned the ropes of Corps life and took on challenges at Nighthawk Ridge, the firing range and Camp Merrill.

On Saturday, it all came together with a run up Crown Mountain and graduation. With friends and family gathered on the drill field, the successful FROGs officially became the newest members of the Boar’s Head Brigade.

FROG Week may be over but their journey is just beginning. They now join generations of cadets who came before them, carrying on the traditions of the Corps and making their own mark.

This milestone represents an investment in our cadets, our mission, and the future of the Corps of Cadets.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this historic occasion, and to the many individuals, donors, alumni and partners whose vision and support made it possible.
