April 2025 Notes from the Provost
Dear Faculty and Staff,
As we tidy up the loose ends of the semester—making final assignments, grading that last batch of papers and planning final exams—the end of another successful academic year is on the horizon.
I am proud of all that we have accomplished this year, and I know our students are as well, especially freshman cadets who were recognized Corps Day weekend, a rite of passage that speaks to their character and perseverance. Corps Day reminds us of The Citadel’s rich history and of all of the alumni who have come before us—alumni like Vlasta Zekulic, Ph.D., a 2002 graduate, whom you will read about in this newsletter. Dr. Zekulic has a powerful story, and if you were not able to attend her talk, I hope you will take time to listen to the recording.
There are many other stories in this issue, too, that showcase our talented faculty and students and the meaningful work they are doing. It is heartening to be part of this great institution. Together, we will continue The Citadel’s legacy of educating principled leaders.
Until next time,
Brigadier General Sally Selden, Ph.D., SPHR
Provost and Dean of the College
