"In East of Eden, John Steinbeck paints a picture of his hometown in Northern California—its landscapes, its smells, its sounds, its people.

While VOL I was comprised entirely of images and articles attributed to the CADET team, VOL II proudly features the works of several individuals from the USMA community.

A huge thank you to Wander & Range photography for capturing our day exactly how we envisioned and experienced it - check out a few of our favorite moments!
We have already begun to run into West Pointers at every turn - random happy hour near the White House: a West Pointer is there; waiting room at an eye doctor appointment: a West Pointer is there; walking down the hallway at the Pentagon: many, many West Pointers are there.
So, if you call DC or NOVA home please, please, pretty please reach out. You and your stories are at the heart of this publication - we want to help tell your story. Additionally, we are always excited to work with the West Point community and Grad-owned businesses.
