MIDDLE BLOCKERS

Returnees No. Name Ht. Cl. 1 Shannon Frain 5-11 So. 5 Jessica Maas 6-1 So. 9 Amanda Beal 6-0 So. 15 Jasmine McLamb 5-9 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 experi-ence 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 confi dent, quick and able to make strong decisions along the net.

Coach Geiger on Frain- “Shannon can be used in multiple positions, and I will look for her to com-pete 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.”

Coach Geiger on McLamb- “Jasmine has been working hard throughout the fall and spring to improve and gain more confi dence. 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, confi dence and more communication could make her a threat in the middle or on the right side.”

SETTERS

Returnee Newcomer No. Name Ht. Cl. No. Name Ht. Cl. 6 Emily Hill 5-6 Sr. 4 Alyssa Holum 5-9 Fr.

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.

2008 SEASON OUTLOOKLast season, the Bulldogs fi nished 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.

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 fi nal 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 Bull-dogs are looking to build a solid backcourt, which will put them in a better offensive position.

OUTSIDE HITTERS

Cl. 2 Tatum Jestila 5-10 So. 12 Kathryn Johnston 5-10 Fr. 3 Blaine McAllister 5-10 So. 10 Megan Scara 5-10 Fr. 7 Rachel Sanders 5-7 Sr 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 confi dent 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.”

Coach Geiger on McAllister- “Blaine can also be a major contributor this year. We have the op-tion of using her in the front row or the back row, because she is solid in both areas. She needs to play with more confi dence 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 Newcomer No. Name Ht. Cl. No. Name Ht. Cl. 8 Ashley Winter 5-7 Sr. 12 Kathryn Johnston 5-10 Fr.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 Bull-dogs 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 col-lege 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.”

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 setterAlyssa 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.”

Carolyn Geiger enters her third season as head coach of The Citadel Volleyball pro-gram after a rebuilding second season, where she signed seven solid recruits. The Bull-dogs 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.

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 fi rst 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 fi rst year as the head coach. The Geiger-led Bulldogs had one of their most successful seasons in 2006 despite fi elding 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, Gei-ger served as the program’s offi cial scorer for the three years prior to being hired as head coach.

In her fi rst year, Geiger engineered a season that witnessed an all-time level of excite-ment surrounding the program as the Bulldogs became a force to be reckoned with in the Southern Conference. Posting a 10-24 record in her fi rst year, Geiger led the Cadets to their fi rst league win in more than two seasons and coached the team to their fi rst-ever 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.

Prior to fi rst entering the gates of The Citadel, Geiger served as an assistant coach at the College of Charleston, helping to build that pro-gram 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 fi rst bid to the NCAA Tournament in any women’s sport. The Cougars posted the nation’s third-longest win-ning streak that season with 22 consecutive victories that shattered the previous school and SoCon records.

The 2002 CofC squad also saw fi ve members named All-Conference and three were named All-Tournament in the Southern Conference Tournament, including the tournament’s most valuable player.

Geiger also was a vital part of the 2001 College of Charleston team that won the fi rst SoCon regular season championship in the school’s

history and posted a then-record 20-match winning streak. The Cougars fi nished 2001 with a dominating 30-3 record, going 19-1 in SoCon play. 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 fi rst came on the CofC scene as an assistant coach for the 1999 season, when the Cougars led the Southern Conference in hitting percentage (.209), kills per game (16.11) and assists per game (13.72).

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 single-match 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.

Geiger was named Most Outstanding Player in 1999 at UNCA and the Pennsylvania-native was also named Most Valuable Player of the 1998 College of Charleston Invitational.

Amir Khaledi enters his third year with The Cita-del Volleyball program. The Citadel has one of the scrappiest defensive teams in the Southern Confer-ence, which Khaledi has helped develop.

In 2006, the Bulldogs set 14 school records, despite fi elding one of the smallest active rosters in Divi-sion I.

Khaledi joined the program in 2006 after two sepa-rate coaching stints at Charleston Southern Univer-sity. Khaledi was named the head coach of Charles-ton Southern in 1986 and served in that capacity for nine years before handing the reigns over to his former player Danyel Bellush. During his tenure as head coach, Khaledi directed Charleston Southern during the most successful run in the program’s his-tory.

Khaledi is the most successful coach in Charleston Southern volleyball history and has more than 200 victories to his credit. Khaledi led the Buccaneers to four Big South Championships during his tenure. A three-time Big South Coach of the Year honoree, Khaledi was inducted into the Charleston Southern Hall of Fame in 2002.

Khaledi is also a standout coach on the club level as well, having been involved with Charles-ton’s Junior Olympic volleyball program since 1997. He coached the Charleston elite team to four national championship tournament appearances and led the team to a seventh-place fi nish at the AAU national tournament in 2001, the highest ranking ever achieved by a South Carolina team to date. All four national tournament teams claimed regional crowns. In 2007, Khaledi’s 18 Elite Club team fi nished 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-Confer-ence 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 certifi cation under USA Volleyball and his Coaching and Offi ci-ating certifi cation by the International Federation of Volleyball.

Khaledi and his wife, Pam, have a seven-year old son, Cyrus.

27272007 YEAR-IN-REVIEW

Head Coach Carolyn Geiger had a tough task ahead of her: building a team with experience and depth. Last season, the Bulldogs fi nished 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.

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.

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

Emily Hill Nationally RankedJunior setter Emily Hill fi nished the season with 0.60 service aces per game, earning her a na-tional ranking and a top spot among the South-ern Conference. Because of her strength behind the serving line, Hill ranked 16th in the nation and fi rst in the Southern Conference. This rank-ing earned her the highest ranking ever reached by any female cadet-student-athlete.

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.

Bulldogs Beat Charleston SouthernThe 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 confi dent. The Buccaneers took the fi rst and third games, but the Bulldogs did not quit. They battled back to take the second, fourth and fi fth games, where they danced into history. Beating the Buccaneers marked the second time in school history that The Citadel has defeated Charleston Southern.

Rachel Sanders Sets RecordsJunior outside hitter Rachel Sanders continued her success in 2007. Sanders has broken several school records throughout her past three seasons and 2007 was not any different.

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.

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.

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.

Bulldogs Conclude Season with VictoryThe Bulldogs were bound and determined to end the season on a good note. Their last regular season match came on the road against Wofford, where they looked to seek revenge from their previous outing.

The Citadel came out with fi re in their eyes and a determination to win, dominating the Terriers in the fi rst game. After a stellar outing in the fi rst game, the Bulldogs dropped the next two games.

The Bulldogs battled back to win a very close fourth game, taking the match into the fi fth and

fi nal 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.

Succeeding in the ClassrooomNot only is The Citadel Volleyball team excel-ling on the volleyball court, but they are domi-nating 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, record-ing 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. Em-ily Hill, Ashley Winter, Amanda Beal, Tatum Jestila, Jessica Maas and Blaine McAllister were all members of the Dean’s List.

Earning gold stars, one of the most prestigious academic honors at The Citadel, in the fall of 2007 were Amanda Beal and Jessica Maas.

The same six members of the volleyball team earned spots on the Dean’s List in the spring of 2008. Emily Hill, Ashley Winter, Amanda Beal, Tatum Jestila, Jessica Maas and Blaine McAl-lister were all members of the Dean’s List.

Earning a gold star for the spring of 2008 was Tatum Jestila.

The Southern ConferenceThe Southern Conference, which began its 88th sea-son of intercollegiate competition in 2008, is a na-tional leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong lead-ers and role models.

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

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

Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of South-ern Conference student-athletes have been recog-nized 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 Conference currently consists of 12 members in fi ve states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce par-ticipants for NCAA Division I Championships.

The Southern Conference offi ces are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A tex-tile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today of-fers the league fi rst class meeting areas and offi ces as well as a spacious library for storage of the confer-ence’s historical documents.

Membership HistoryOn 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 offi cials 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 Poly-technic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee.

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 ath-letic 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.

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

By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Confer-ence 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. Geor-gia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reor-ganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included including Alabama, Ala-bama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Geor-gia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mis-sissippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt.

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

The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 col-leges 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 Vir-ginia and William & Mary.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a member-ship that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans fi ve states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charles-ton, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Championship HistoryThe fi rst Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the fi rst 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 cham-pionships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track cham-pionships in 1988. Most recently, the conference in-

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 mili-tary 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 envi-ronment, 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 fi t-ness 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 fi rst 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 educa-tion at The Citadel combined with the availability of fi nancial 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 re-turning each year, The Citadel enjoys one of the best retention records in the coun-try. The Citadel’s 14 academic depart-ments offer fi ve bachelor’s degrees in 17 areas, six master’s degrees in 17 areas and specialist degrees in two areas.

The Citadel enjoys one of the best retention records in the country. The Citadel’s 14 academic departments offer fi ve bachelor’s degrees in 17 areas, six master’s degrees in 17 areas and specialist degrees in two areas.

South Carolina Corps of Cadets: 1,964 Graduate Students: 1,174

Cadet-Student-Athletes...The Citadel leads South Carolina with the highest four-year Graduation Rate at 62.4 per-cent, 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 classifi cation 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 aca-demic 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 re-sources.

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 gradu-ate programs with concentrations in education, psychology, computer science and business. The Master of Business Administration program

is the only nationally accredited MBA program in the Low-country region of South Carolina. The CGC also offers three undergraduate evening programs in business and engineering. The Citadel is the only college in South Carolina that offers undergraduate civil and electrical engineering degrees in the evening.

Alumni...Generations of Citadel graduates have served their nation, their state and their community with distinction. The Citadel graduates men and women with alert minds and sound bodies, who value honor, integrity, loyalty and patriotism, and who ac-cept the responsibilities that accompany leadership. The Cita-del remains a stronghold of duty, self-discipline and high ideals in a changing American society.

Traditionally received during Parents’ Weekend by fi rst class cadets, The Cita-del 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 fi ring 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 offi cers is em-bodied by the sword, found on the left shank of the ring. Crossing the sword is the rifl e, the symbol of the infantry. Of equal importance in this world of political aggrandizement and perpetual military confl ict are the concepts of freedom acquired and maintained only through a willingness to fi ght for it, represented by the rifl e surmounted by the oak leaves of toughness and victory blessed by peace, represented by the laurel wreath.

On the right shank of the ring are found the United States and South Carolina fl ags, which depict the unity of the state and federal government. The can-non 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 sym-bolizes 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 fl eet during the Revolutionary War. The two oval shields at the base of the tree are replicas of the state seals.

The Honor Code is fairly simple. This code, while simple, of-fers 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, believ-ing, and leading. Its culmination is seen in the cadets who internalize the Code and the alumni who continually apply it throughout their lives.

Cadet PrayerAlmighty 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 fi rm leadership, we may prove ourselves worthy citizens of our

country, devoted to truth, given to unselfi sh 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, fi nding joy in purity and confi dence 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.

Cadet CreedI will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of The Citadel and the South Caro-lina Corps of Cadets.

Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically tough, and morally straight, and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a well-trained cadet. My courtesy to superior offi cers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

And under no circumstances will I ever bring discredit to The Citadel and the South Carolina Corps of Cadets.

Graduates of The Citadel succeed because they know what it takes to meet a challenge in any fi eld: patience and persistence, discipline and determination, teamwork and hardwork.

The Citadel emphasizes athletic competition as a way to build leaders, learn teamwork and prepare for life’s challenges. Physical fi tness represents a vital component of every Cadet’s experience. All Cadets take physical education courses and participate in one or more of our 28 intramural sports, 15 intercollegiate club sports or 16 NCAA Division I athletic programs.

Graduates of The Citadel benefi t from an invaluable lifelong association with other alumni. Talk to any graduate of The Citadel, and you will sense fi rsthand the powerful force of the strong alumni network.

Sir, Yes, Sir • Sir, No, SirSir, 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 Reagan40th President of the United States

May 15, 1993

Whatever their major, all cadets will graduate with a “dual degree” in leader-ship. They learn about attention to detail, respect, time management, and discipline.

“Leadership is about integrity, trust and people. The Citadel, with its mis-sion 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.”

“...I read this fr iendly advice in the book: ‘When you receive an order, carry it out to the best of your ability. Never argue or off er suggestions which you think might be better. Th is is not in your best interest.’ Well, it seems to me that Th e Citadel has

a few things to teach the Cabinet and the Executive Branch, too! In fact, maybe we should just put the whole federal govern-ment through cadet training!” Th e Honorable Ronald Reagan

40th President of the United States

The Honorable Steve Buyer, ‘80U.S. Congressman

Bulldogs: ... noted for their vigor and composed disposition...

they are fi ercely loyal and their grip is very powerful against resistance.

The Citadel has two live bulldog mascots, Boo IX and General, whose main duty is to provide morale for the Corps of Cadets, faculty and staff and all of the Bulldog athletic teams. Other duties include barking at opposing teams, eating numerous dog biscuits throughout the day and being pampered by the cadets that help take care of them while school is in session.

GeneralGeneral, who was born June 18, 2003, became the fi rst 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 do-nated 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 fi nd the best name.

Boo IXBoo 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 involv-ing the Corps of Cadets. Boo IX is named after Lt. Col. Thomas Nugent Courvoisie, a former assistant commandant, and comes from a long line of Bulldogs that have been serving The Citadel for more than 15 years.
