Overview

Mission

To provide support and guidance to united states military (west point) cadets and their families throughout their attendance at the united states military academy. Additionally, to provide support and assistance to members of the various united states military services during deployments or in times of need.

What it reported doing in 2024

The west point family weekend tailgate is an over 25 year tradition. It is held every fall semester and invites the families of active Michigan cadets and Michigan alumni to come to west point and participate in a variety of scheduled events on post. The activities include tours of west point cadet barracks, ferry rides on the hudson, tours of the westpoint uniform factory, guided tours of the superintendent's residence, quarters 100, as well as department open houses for its 37 academic majors and 15 minors. The weekend festivities for about 100 club members culminate in spectacular fashion, for a pre- and post-game tailgate with all the trimmings, and an army home football game at michie stadium. This is a way for cadet families and alumni from Michigan to network and stay connected while participating in a years old tradition at west point.
