Senior Dining Out

About Senior Dining Out

Each year, in the spring semester, Senior Dining Out (SDO) marks the end of an era. The seniors wear their uniforms for one of the last times and join in the celebration of four successful years in the Corps of Cadets. Ol’ Ags reminisce with each other and share stories of Ol’ Army days with the cadets of today. The ceremony for the evening is a blend of Aggie traditions and military protocol. The evening culminates with the presentation of cadet awards and the handing out of SDO Challenge coins. The event is attended by senior cadets, distinguished visitors, and CCA members (Reveille & above).

Class of '26 Senior Dining Out

Over 600 Senior cadets, CCA members, and VIPs were in attendance to celebrate the Class of 2026 at Senior Dining Out. The CCA was honored to host the evening at the Marine One / 4141 Locomotive Pavilion, where Chancellor Emeritus John S. Sharp '72 was the guest speaker. Senior Dining Out is a long-standing military tradition that the CCA began hosting in 1999. The evening serves as a chance to celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2026 before they step out into the world toward their future. The CCA thanks USAA for sponsoring this special evening for the seniors. Thanks to all of our sponsors and members for supporting this event to make it such a special evening.

Photos of the event will be available on our website by March 14.
