Why Give
The Citadel's mission is to prepare its graduates to provide principled leadership in all walks of life by instilling core values in a disciplined, academic environment. These values, which are held most dear, are: Academics, Duty, Honor, Morality, Discipline, and Diversity.
Accomplishing this mission will require substantial additional resources, together with a continued commitment to efficiency, a focus on top priorities, and a determination to work hard. Gifts from individuals, companies, and organizations provide resources that will be used to recruit and retain outstanding students and professors, provide them with state-of-the-art technology and facilities, and enrich campus life through athletic and cultural activities.
