Gold stars are awarded to cadets and students who have earned a grade point ratio of 3.7 or higher.
Those cadets were recognized on Sept. 9, when they were presented their gold stars, which they may wear on their uniforms throughout the semester following their academic achievement. A gold star recognition certificate is awarded to non-cadet students who meet the requirements; veteran and active duty students are also awarded challenge coins.
Academics at The Citadel are divided between five schools: the Tommy and Victoria Baker School of Business (opens in a new tab), the School of Engineering (opens in a new tab), the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (opens in a new tab), the Swain Family School of Science and Mathematics (opens in a new tab) and the Zucker Family School of Education (opens in a new tab).
The following are cadets and students who received the honor for their work accomplished in the spring semester of 2022:
