2008 SEASON OUTLOOK Last season, the Bulldogs finished with a 6-28 record after having one of their most successful seasons in 2006. With seven freshmen and three juniors, The Citadel had the youngest active roster in the Southern Conference, giving them a little bit of a disadvantage. This year, nine players return, giving the Bulldogs a new sense of hope and a chance for a new beginning.

2 0 0 8

With nine returners, The Citadel has built a solid foundation to work with for the upcoming season. The Bulldogs’ core nucleus will be returning this fall, which means an experienced starting lineup for the Bulldogs and depth at all positions. The Citadel returns nine from last year, with three seniors and six sophomores. The sophomores will start the season with one year of collegiate experience behind them and more knowledge of the collegiate game. Three seniors will take the court for their final seasons, giving them an opportunity to lead the team to a successful season. Three new faces join the Bulldogs, giving Head Coach Carolyn Geiger a new foundation and three players that are ready to contribute to the program’s success. The Bulldogs are looking to build a solid backcourt, which will put them in a better offensive position.

MIDDLE BLOCKERS Returnees No. Name Ht. 1 Shannon Frain 5-11 5 Jessica Maas 6-1 9 Amanda Beal 6-0 15 Jasmine McLamb 5-9

Cl. So. So. So. So.

The Bulldogs are looking to establish a middle attack with strong middle blockers. The middle blockers will be built around four sophomores this season. Geiger is hoping that with the experience the middle blockers bring to the court, there should be less errors made and more kills coming out of the middle attack. Hoping to establish the middles as an option during offense, the Bulldogs are looking to build a strong connection between the middle blockers and the setters. Having four sophomores as the middle blockers, Geiger is looking for them to be more confident, quick and able to make strong decisions along the net.

C I T A D E L

Coach Geiger on Frain- “Shannon can be used in multiple positions, and I will look for her to compete for a starting position both in the middle and right sides. Her slide is one of her best offensive tools and it’s nice that we can use her at either position. She works hard and should see more court time this season.” Coach Geiger on Maas- “Jessica spent much of the season playing with a nagging groin injury. Even with this injury, she was a big contributor to our offense. It will be important to reestablish her in the middle and get her connecting with our setters immediately. Jessica also has good ball control and good hands. I am looking for her to be a solid contributor for us this year.” Coach Geiger on Beal- “Amanda has a lot of potential and a great attitude. She worked hard in the spring and it showed. By the end of spring training, she was beating some of our quicker athletes in the sprints. Her block height and penetration over the net is one of her biggest strengths. She also has good ball control, which is rare for the taller players.”

T H E

Coach Geiger on McLamb- “Jasmine has been working hard throughout the fall and spring to improve and gain more confidence. Her strongest asset is her blocking. She is strong and can put up a wall that can stop our best hitters, but she does have some bad habits to work out of her system. Her natural athletic ability, combined with hard work, confidence and more communication could make her a threat in the middle or on the right side.”

When recruiting for this year, the Bulldogs looked for a setter that could make an impact right away and was ready to contribute to the team. The Bulldogs needed someone to back up their only setter, Emily Hill. This year’s squad consists of two setters, Hill and incoming freshman Alyssa Holum. This year, Geiger is looking to run a 6-2 offense, with a taller front row. Having a taller front row allows for more offensive options, which gives the hitters more opportunities to connect with the setter. The Bulldogs are looking for a solid relationship between the hitters and setters.

6 2008 VOLLEYBALL OUTLOOK

Coach Geiger on Hill- “Emily has been my starting setter for the past two seasons. She is mature and even keeled on the court. She still needs to work on her decisions during the game, but I expect her to have a solid senior year. She will have competition from our feisty freshmen setter Alyssa Holum.” Coach Geiger on Holum- “Alyssa is a feisty player. She is excitable and gets her teammates pumped up on the court. It should be interesting to see how the two different demeanors of our setters work with our hitters. Alyssa has a lot to learn in a short period of time but she’s a competitor and will work hard for playing time. I am excited to have the option of running a 6-2 with both Alyssa and Emily setting.”

The Bulldogs are very strong at the outside hitter position, which will be anchored by senior Rachel Sanders. Sophomores Tatum Jestila and Blaine McAllister are also returning at the outside hitter spots, giving the Bulldogs depth at that position. Freshmen Megan Scara and Kathryn Johnston will join the Bulldogs at the outside hitter position, allowing for more variety and options on the offensive end. Geiger is looking forward to the depth and possibilities at this position. Coach Geiger on Jestila- “Tatum is also one of my strongest workers. She is a solid all-around player. She has one year of college experience under her and I am confident that she will be a major contributor on our team this season. She plays scrappy defense and hopefully, with her good ball control, she can establish herself as a primary passer.”

V O L L E Y B A L L

Coach Geiger on McAllister- “Blaine can also be a major contributor this year. We have the option of using her in the front row or the back row, because she is solid in both areas. She needs to play with more confidence and feistiness. She works hard on the court, in the weight room and also in the classroom.” Coach Geiger on Sanders- “Rachel underwent surgery on her hand and spent most of the spring season playing defense for us. She has worked hard this summer to come back stronger, faster and better than ever. Her leadership, experience, and strong work ethic will be instrumental for this team’s success.” Coach Geiger on Scara- “Megan has great ball control in the back row and I am hopeful that she will vie for court time. She has backwards footwork that we will try to correct immediately. When she’s on the court she is calm, cool and collected, but knows how to get the job done. I look forward to watching her develop as a player.”

DEFENSIVE SPECIALISTS Returnee No. Name 8 Ashley Winter

On the defensive end, senior Ashley Winter will anchor the defensive efforts of the Bulldogs. Joining Winter as a defensive specialist is freshman Kathryn Johnston. Both players will be used to solidify the defensive efforts for the Bulldogs. With two defensive specialists, the Bulldogs will be more aggressive and dominate on the defensive end. The Bulldogs are looking for better passing and defending this year and will continue to establish their defensive game. Coach Geiger on Winter- “Ashley is going to have to work very hard this season. I pushed her throughout our conditioning sessions last spring season and I am hopeful that she will come into her senior season in great shape and ready to contribute. She isn’t our most vocal player on the court, but she will go all out when asked. She could have a tremendous senior season and be a defensive threat for us.” Coach Geiger on Johnston- “KJ is a very hard worker and I like her tenacity on the court. I’ve seen her go after a ball 30 feet off the court that her teammates gave up on and kept it in play. She will give you all she has because she loves the game. I am hopeful the transition to the college game will be a smooth one for her. Her personality combined with her work ethic will put her in a position to be very successful this season and beyond.”

HEAD COACH - THIRD YEAR - UNC ASHEVILLE, ‘99 Carolyn Geiger enters her third season as head coach of The Citadel Volleyball program after a rebuilding second season, where she signed seven solid recruits. The Bulldogs struggled a bit in 2007 because of all the fresh talent, but are entering the 2008 campaign with experience and high expectations of a solid season.

V O L L E Y B A L L

In 2007, Geiger coached senior Emily Hill to a national ranking in service aces. Hill recorded 0.60 service aces per game, which ranked her 16th nationally and first in the SoCon. With her national ranking, Hill earned the highest national ranking ever reached by any female cadet-student-athlete. The Bulldogs had a record-setting season in Geiger’s first year as the head coach. The Geiger-led Bulldogs had one of their most successful seasons in 2006 despite fielding one of the smallest active rosters in Division I. The third coach in the program’s history, Geiger took over the reigns of the oldest women’s team sport at one of the most storied institutions in the country in July 2006. No stranger to the volleyball program at The Military College of South Carolina, Geiger served as the program’s official scorer for the three years prior to being hired as head coach.

C I T A D E L

In her first year, Geiger engineered a season that witnessed an all-time level of excitement surrounding the program as the Bulldogs became a force to be reckoned with in the Southern Conference. Posting a 10-24 record in her first year, Geiger led the Cadets to their first league win in more than two seasons and coached the team to their firstever win in Spartanburg against Wofford. Because of Geiger’s diligence and dedication, the Bulldogs saw increased offensive output in nearly every category. Along with assistant coach Amir Khaledi, The Citadel coaching staff molded a group of girls into one of the scrappiest defensive teams in the league.

COACHING RESUME’

T H E

Prior to first entering the gates of The Citadel, Geiger served as an assistant coach at the College of Charleston, helping to build that program into a dominating powerhouse in the Southern Conference. In 2002, the Geiger-taught Cougars were champions of both the Southern Conference regular season and post-season tournament and earned the school’s first bid to the NCAA Tournament in any women’s sport. The Cougars posted the nation’s third-longest winning streak that season with 22 consecutive victories that shattered the previous school and SoCon records. Year The 2002 CofC squad also saw five members named All-Conference and three were named All-Tournament in the Southern Conference Tournament, including the tournament’s most valuable player.

Geiger helped coach that squad to a No. 6 national ranking in winning percentage that season (.909), as well as a No. 6 national ranking in digs per game (18.52) and No. 13 national ranking in hitting percentage (.287). That 2001 Cougar squad recorded a team grade point average of 3.31, which resulted in their second AVCA/Molten Team Academic Award.

Geiger broke into the record books early on, recording a school record 32 kills in a match her sophomore year against Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC). She still holds the singlematch school record for best attack percentage, swinging a powerful .520 (14 kills, 1 error, 25 total attempts) against Charleston Southern also during her sophomore year.

All four national tournament teams claimed regional crowns. In 2007, Khaledi’s 18 Elite Club team finished fourth at the U.S. Volleyball National Qualifying tournament in Atlanta, Ga. Not just a success story on the sidelines, Khaledi was a three-year all-star collegiate player at Norwich (Vt.) University, garnering two All-Conference and All-Region honors, before transferring to Charleston Southern. Khaledi earned his bachelor’s degree from Charleston Southern in 1984. Prior to coming to the United States and attending college, Khaledi played volleyball in his native Tehran, Iran, where he was a four-year letterwinner at Tehran’s Kharazmi High School, earning multiple All-City, All-Region and All-Country honors. From 1977-79, Khaledi was a member of Iran’s Junior Olympic National Team. A nationally-acclaimed coach, Khaledi has received Cap I and Impact Coaching certification under USA Volleyball and his Coaching and Officiating certification by the International Federation of Volleyball.

Bulldogs Gain Experience and Toughness in 2007

T H E

Head Coach Carolyn Geiger had a tough task ahead of her: building a team with experience and depth. Last season, the Bulldogs finished with a 6-28 record after having one of their most successful seasons in 2006. With only seven freshmen and three juniors, The Citadel had the youngest active roster in the Southern Conference.

Even with a young roster, the Bulldogs managed to make things happen and were considered one of the scrappiest defensive teams. Not only did they fight hard and battle back in most of their games, but the Bulldogs set records and continued to excel both on the court and off.

Along with her national ranking, Hill has earned a top spot in The Citadel history books. With 0.52 career service aces per game, Hill has taken over the No. 1 spot in the record books.

Sanders is also a dominating player in the back row. The 2007 season placed Sanders in the record books in several categories. In 2007, Sanders earned the No. 2 ranking in digs in a season, falling just below her top ranking in 2006. Sanders sits at the top of the list in career digs with 1,068. She also ranks at the top of the list in career digs per game with 3.12.

Succeeding in the Classrooom Not only is The Citadel Volleyball team excelling on the volleyball court, but they are dominating in the classroom. The Bulldogs continue to show their hard work in the classroom as well as on the court. The volleyball team earned the top spot among all women’s sports in the fall of 2007, recording an impressive grade point average of 3.37. In the spring of 2008, the Bulldogs recorded a grade point average of 3.22. Six members of the volleyball team earned spots on the Dean’s List in the fall of 2007. Emily Hill, Ashley Winter, Amanda Beal, Tatum Jestila, Jessica Maas and Blaine McAllister were all members of the Dean’s List.

Bulldogs Beat Charleston Southern The Bulldogs opened up the 2007 season against Charleston Southern in front of the second largest home crowd of the season. Knowing the excitement in beating an in-state rival, the Bulldogs looked poised and confident. The Buccaneers took the first and third games, but the Bulldogs did not quit. They battled back to take the second, fourth and fifth games, where they danced into history. Beating the Buccaneers marked the second time in school history that The Citadel has defeated Charleston Southern.

The 2007 season also allowed Sanders a chance to earn a top spot in kills per game. She is ranked second in kills per game in a season and in a career.

final game. Geiger rallied her team and with some impressive plays and some heart, the Bulldogs pulled out a victory. The Bulldogs had their best defensive game of the season, earning a conference win and ending the season on a high note.

V O L L E Y B A L L

Emily Hill Nationally Ranked Junior setter Emily Hill finished the season with 0.60 service aces per game, earning her a national ranking and a top spot among the Southern Conference. Because of her strength behind the serving line, Hill ranked 16th in the nation and first in the Southern Conference. This ranking earned her the highest ranking ever reached by any female cadet-student-athlete.

In 2007, Sanders moved to No. 2 in kills in a match with 25, No. 1 in kills in a season with 432 and No. 2 in career kills with 1,045. This season allowed her to break the attack attempts record, which was previously set by her, with 69, keeping her in the top spot. Sanders leads the school in attack attempts for a season with 1,244, which she earned during 2007 and is No. 2 in career attack attempts with 3,203.

C I T A D E L

The 2007 season was a building year and one in which the Bulldogs had to rely heavily on their seven freshmen. With only three veteran players, the juniors had to quickly take on a leadership role, while the freshmen were trying to adjust to Knob year, a college curriculum, playing volleyball on a collegiate level and adjusting to college life.

The Southern Conference The Southern Conference, which began its 88th season of intercollegiate competition in 2008, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models.

Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions.

The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Membership History

The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Championship History Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money.

The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference in-

On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee.

The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee.

The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.

V O L L E Y B A L L

The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships.

According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932.

The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success.

C I T A D E L

The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination.

By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included including Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt.

stituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994.

T H E

The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984) and becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer.

Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929.

This is The Citadel The Military College of South Carolina The Citadel is a state-supported comprehensive military college with the mission of educating principled leaders through its Corps of Cadets. Males and females are admitted to the undergraduate residential Corps of Cadets. In addition to the day program, undergraduate and graduate programs are offered through The Citadel Graduate College (CGC) in the evening. The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education recognizes The Citadel as the only specialized four-year college in the state. The Citadel, founded in 1842, is a co-educational military college with a rich and storied history. Located in Charleston, S.C., the institution offers a classic military education for young men and women who seek a college experience that is intense, meaningful and academically strong. Graduates of The Citadel say that the disciplined lifestyle and friendships they forged here have a profoundly positive effect on their lives.

With an enrollment of more than 1,900, the Corps of Cadets is the nation’s largest military college program outside the service academies. All cadets are educated within a classic military system and about 40 percent of the graduating seniors earn military commissions. The remaining graduates attend graduate school or enter the job market.

The Citadel Graduate College, which is noted for The Citadel excellence in a civilian environment, serves about 1,700 residents of South Carolina’s Lowcountry.

Academic programs at the college are complimented by a strong commitment to service and emphatic support of an honor code that calls upon a cadet not to lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do. Since its founding in 1842, The Citadel’s emphasis on character, as well as intellect, has produced generations of graduates who have served their nation, their professions and their communities with distinction.

Corps of Cadets ...

All undergraduate students at The Citadel are members of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets, which numbers approximately 1,900 and represent nearly every state, as well as more than 20 countries. While roughly 40 percent of the graduates each year go into the armed services, all cadets participate in an ROTC program. On most days, cadets have physical fitness training and military instruction in addition to their regular college classes. Weekdays end with a formation and required evening study period.

Because The Citadel emphasizes corps unity, cadets cannot be married and all must live on campus in the barracks with their assigned company. Despite the challenges, cadets value their first year for the lessons in teamwork, self-discipline and time management. The disciplined lifestyle that begins in the knob year binds cadets into a lifelong, close-knit camaraderie that is one of the strongest forces in their lives after graduation. Academic Programs... Because of the strength of the academic program, The Citadel has repeatedly been rated as a top regional institution in the annual rankings issued by U.S. News and World Report. The quality of the education at The Citadel combined with the availability of financial aid, the credentials of the faculty and the graduation rate earned the institution the citation of Best College Value in the South in 2007. With more than 80 percent of its students returning each year, The Citadel enjoys one of the best retention records in the country. The Citadel’s 14 academic departments offer five bachelor’s degrees in 17 areas, six master’s degrees in 17 areas and specialist degrees in two areas.

Cadet-Student-Athletes...

The Citadel leads South Carolina with the highest four-year Graduation Rate at 62.4 percent, while the national average is only 30 precent.

Cadets receive gold stars for earning a 3.7 GPA or higher. The stars are worn on both sides of the colar of their dress uniforms and above the left pocket of their summer leave uniforms.

The Citadel ranks No. 3 nationally among public colleges and universities in the Carnegie classification in the percentage of students who graduate in four years. That category includes colleges with master’s level programs. The Princeton Review for 2006 named The Citadel School of Business one of the nation’s 237 best business programs.

Among South Carolina’s public colleges and universities, The Citadel has the highest four-year graduation rate for athletes. More than 90 percent of cadet-student-athletes who have exhausted their four years of eligibility earn a diploma.

The Princeton Review for 2006 placed The Citadel in its top tier of academic institutions according to an academic ranking that measures how hard students work and how much they get back for their efforts. The ranking considered such factors as hours students study outside of class, quality of the student body, class size, student assessment of professors and other resources.

The Citadel Graduate College... The Citadel’s evening college serves the Lowcountry by offering nationally accredited bachelor’s, master’s and specialist degrees scheduled around the student’s profession, family and lifestyle. It is the well-known Citadel academic excellence in a civilian environment. The CGC offers 20 graduate programs with concentrations in education, psychology, computer science and business.

Band of Gold The Citadel Ring: Symbolizing Unity Between Graduates Traditionally received during Parents’ Weekend by first class cadets, The Citadel ring symbolizes honor and the unity between The Citadel graduates. Worn proudly by alumni of all ages, cadets look forward to the day that they will be able to wear this band of gold with pride.

The ring has symbolized outstanding accomplishments both by the Corps of Cadets and South Carolina. Perhaps the most popular feature of the ring is the “Star of the West”, which commemorates the firing on a Union supply steamer by a detachment of Citadel cadets in January, 1861. This action was the powder keg which set off the War Between the States.

Every aspect of the ring is symbolic of the history and tradition of the Corps of Cadets from the Mexican War through both World Wars, to the present day. The Citadel is a military college and the leadership, courage and integrity found in good officers is embodied by the sword, found on the left shank of the ring. Crossing the sword is the rifle, the symbol of the infantry. Of equal importance in this world of political aggrandizement and perpetual military conflict are the concepts of freedom acquired and maintained only through a willingness to fight for it, represented by the rifle surmounted by the oak leaves of toughness and victory blessed by peace, represented by the laurel wreath.

V o l l

On the right shank of the ring are found the United States and South Carolina flags, which depict the unity of the state and federal government. The cannon balls at the bottom of this shank indicate the continuing link between the Old Citadel on Marion Square and the Greater Citadel. When the college moved to its present location, the Civil War cannon balls piled before the Old Citadel were left behind. The oval crest has a reproduction of the Palmetto tree in its background. Aside from representing the state tree of South Carolina, the Palmetto symbolizes a cadet-trained regiment of infantry that fought in the Mexican War and it represents a fort, built of Palmetto logs, that repelled a large British invasion fleet during the Revolutionary War. The two oval shields at the base of the tree are replicas of the state seals.

Honor “A Cadet does not Lie, Cheat, or Steal, nor Tolerate those who do.” The Honor Code is fairly simple. This code, while simple, offers the key to living and maintaining an honorable life. Cadets are trained that there is never a situation in which they should participate in, or tolerate, dishonorable activities. These core values of honor and integrity are exactly the values which allow Citadel cadets and alumni to improve their organizations and their communities.

Honor is the most cherished principle at The Citadel. In today’s post-corporate-scandal society, honor, integrity and ethics are in high demand. The Citadel strives to achieve excellence in the education of principled leaders, also known as the “whole person” concept. The Honor Code encompasses all aspects of cadet life, from academic integrity to personal integrity. It has evolved from an unwritten tradition known as the “code of the gentleman” to a formalized code in September of 1955, when the Corps of Cadets unanimously voted to establish The Honor Code. The development of a cadet into a principled leader is a four-tiered process that includes knowing, adhering, believing, and leading. Its culmination is seen in the cadets who internalize the Code and the alumni who continually apply it throughout their lives. Cadet Prayer Almighty God, the source of light and strength, we implore Thy blessing on this our beloved institution, that it may continue true to its high purposes. Guide and strengthen those upon whom rests the authority of government; enlighten with wisdom those who teach and those who learn; and grant to all of us that through sound learning and firm leadership, we may prove ourselves worthy citizens of our country, devoted to truth, given to unselfish service, loyal to every obligation of life and above all to Thee. Preserve us faithful to the ideals of The Citadel, sincere in fellowship, unswerving in duty, finding joy in purity and confidence through a steadfast faith. Grant to each one of us, in his/her own life, a humble heart, a steadfast purpose, and a joyful hope, with a readiness to endure hardship and suffer if need be, that truth may prevail among us and that Thy will may be done on earth. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Sir, Yes, Sir • Sir, No, Sir Sir, No Excuse, Sir “...three permissible knob answers: ‘Sir, yes, sir’ and ‘Sir, no, sir’ and—I liked this third one best of all—’Sir, no excuse, sir.’ By golly, I think, we ought to send the entire U.S. Congress down here to learn answer number three.” The Honorable Ronald Reagan 40th President of the United States May 15, 1993 Whatever their major, all cadets will graduate with a “dual degree” in leadership. They learn about attention to detail, respect, time management, and discipline. “Leadership is about integrity, trust and people. The Citadel, with its mission to prepare graduates to be pricipled leaders, is all about integrity, trust and people. There is no question in my mind that, had I not attended The Citadel to learn these values, I would not have come close to achieving what success I have been fortunate enough to achieve.” L.

Never argue or offer suggestions which you think might be better. This is not in your best interest.’ Well, it seems to me that The Citadel has a few things to teach the Cabinet and the Executive Branch, too!

General General, who was born June 18, 2003, became the first live mascot to live on The Citadel campus since the 1950s. The mascot program was created by the Class of 2003, which wanted to leave a gift to the college. The class raised $1,000 toward the program’s startup. General was donated in August 2003 by the late Hazel Groshon of James Island, S.C.

General comes from a long line of bulldog royalty. He is the nephew of Uga V, the former mascot for the University of Georgia. General’s other relatives include the bulldog representatives for the United States Marine Corps and Mississippi State University. General was named by the Corps of Cadets following a contest to find the best name.

Boo IX Boo IX was born on Sept. 30, 2003, and was donated by Fred Ducker, class of ‘63. He joins General as a member of the two-dog mascot team that attends special events, football games, parades and anything involving the Corps of Cadets. Boo IX is named after Lt. Col.
