“The Citadel has given me more opportunities than I thought possible. The veteran and active duty community on campus has brought a sense of camaraderie that can only be replicated in a military environment. From the Veteran Student Success Center, to the professors, I have found the support I need in order to be successful after graduation.”Ashlyn Howard
