Avenger of the Week | Sarah Zorn, Regimental Commander, Citadel Class of 2018

Last week Cadet Sarah Zorn delivered another blow to the Citadel’s great glass ceiling. Continuing the job started by Shannon Faulkner, the first woman to gain full admission and Nancy Mace, the first woman to graduate from the military college, Zorn became the first woman regimental commander last week, essentially the “battalion leader” of the student body. To the one naysayer speaking out against Zorn as regimental commander, Geno F. Paluso II, the Commandant of Cadets at the Citadel, said, “It’s 2018. She’s the best qualified cadet. So get over it.”

Sarah Zorn is the first woman to be named @Citadel1842’s first regimental commander. “It’s 2018. She’s the best qualified cadet. So get over it.” Go, Sarah! #genderavenger #avengeroftheweek https://www.genderavenger.com/blog/avenger-of-the-week-sarah-zorn
