International Cadets Club

USMA

The International Cadets of West Point Club  consists of cadets from many different countries.  Each of the foreign cadets remains at the Academy for the entire duration of the "West Point Experience" and is granted the same status as a cadet appointed from the United States.  All the foreign national cadets represent the very best of their respective countries and are the true ambassadors and representatives of their respective nations.  The diversity of nationalities, cultures, and languages provide cadets with an opportunity to develop knowledge and awareness of other cultures.  Each year the Club conducts various activities in order to promote cultural awareness and strengthen the bonds of international cooperation on all levels.  Among the most popular activities are the annual visit of the International Ball at the United States Naval Academy, soccer games against the DFL faculty, Coast Guard Academy exchanges, and a visit to Washington DC where cadets get an opportunity to visit their embassies and interact with other members of the international community.  The Club cooperates closely with the International Midshipmen and Cadets of the other Academies, and hosts them during their West Point visits.
