Our Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gold Star Journal (GSJ)<\/em>, which was founded in July 1996 by Dr. Suzanne Mabrouk (Chemistry Department), promotes academic excellence at The Citadel through (1) the publication of scholarly and artistic work and (2) presentations by published students at an annual conference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gold Star Journal Academic Conference (GSJAC)<\/a> enables authors to share their passion for research with a general audience. The work of the artists and photographers is prominently displayed at the conference, which occurs the second Tuesday after Corps Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
