Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) will deliver the commencement address at the Citadel nearly 25 years after she became the first female cadet to graduate from the institution.

Mace’s commencement address will cap off the college’s celebrations of “25 years of female cadet graduates,” the school said. Approximately 13% of the Citadel’s Corps of Cadets are women, with the university stating that the number of female cadets continues to grow.
