Genesis Invitational
The Genesis Invitational is a fall program for prospective cadets and their parents who want an in-depth look at the cadet experience – from the perspective of minority cadets and officers. We know you have options. Genesis is designed to help you dive deeper into the Academy, and build confidence in your college decision. Please consider attending if you:
- Are a minority student or first in your family to attend college
- Are a high school junior, senior, or graduate
- Have a GPA of at least 3.0
- Are physically fit and in good health
Genesis is named after the Academy’s oldest club, founded in 1973, now known as the Genesis Council. The Genesis Council is one of eight vibrant Councils active in the Corps of Cadets.
Format
Genesis is held on campus over three days and two nights, starting on Sunday at 11:30 AM ET and ending on Tuesday at 12:00 PM. Sessions are highly interactive and include time to experience the local area. Plan on plenty of engagement with cadets and officers alike.

What Participants Say
The program enlightened my path as a Hispanic American…. To add to my excitement, the fact that I saw so many young women as Cadets, really motivated me. I told my parents this is opportunity that I cannot pass up!
An eye-opening experience, and I loved every minute of it...Everybody I came across was quick with a smile, and every single question I had about the academy going in was answered by the time I left.
All the cadets I saw looked like they were enjoying their time at CGA possibly from the bond they've all created together through Swab Summer.
An awful lot of information was presented and the opportunity to ask questions of people with different experiences and perspectives was brilliant.
