I want to highlight three main ways this program has positively impacted me since I joined as a freshman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Leadership Opportunities: Last year, I ran for President but did not get the position. However, when the previous president went to study abroad, I was asked to step into the role. I gladly took the opportunity, and this position carried over to this year. It was a great way to get started before taking over for the entire academic year.<br>2. Adjusting to College: The 1842 Scholars Program provided me with a smaller cohort of peers, which helped me adjust to college life. Seeing familiar faces around campus gave me a sense of comfort and community. I encourage you to get to know as many fellow scholars as possible.<br>3. Club Projects: The projects we do throughout the year have allowed me to make a difference at The Citadel. In my freshman year, we worked on a project to increase the CSI number. In my sophomore year, we focused on attracting more female students, students from Title IX schools, and creating a more diverse student body. These projects enable us to impact future cadets&#8217; lives and make a difference in the institution&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1842 Scholars Program has provided me with invaluable leadership opportunities, a supportive community, and meaningful projects that make a difference. I encourage new members to take full advantage of these opportunities and contribute to the continued success of our program<\/p>\n<cite>Bennett Smoak &#8211; 1842 President<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" data-id=\"107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/20231020_Cyber-Security_Workshop_0010-768x432-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/20231020_Cyber-Security_Workshop_0010-768x432-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/20231020_Cyber-Security_Workshop_0010-768x432-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"161\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/IMG_9570-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/IMG_9570-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/IMG_9570-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/IMG_9570-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/IMG_9570-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/IMG_9570-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" data-id=\"94\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/academicbanner6-1024x663.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/academicbanner6-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/academicbanner6-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/academicbanner6-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/academicbanner6-1536x995.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/1842-scholars\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/200\/academicbanner6.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1842 Scholars Program at The Citadel is an honors academic cohort that has significantly benefited me throughout my time as a student and leader.
