For Citadel cadets, spring break is often an opportunity to make a difference. Cadet Princess Lopez, \u201925, used her spring furlough to serve with the Krause Center\u2019s Alternative Break Program on Bulls Island and Waccamaw Island. \u201cIt was a great experience because I was already interested in community service,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A member of The Citadel\u2019s service-based Rotaract Club, Lopez was excited to learn that she could serve alongside cadets who have the same passion. \u201cThe good thing about being at The Citadel,\u201d she said, \u201cis learning to overcome and adapt. It offers classes that no other college has and prepares us to face challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe good thing about being at The Citadel is learning to overcome and adapt.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On the islands, Lopez and seven other cadets rebuilt wooden pedestrian bridges and cleared natural debris. \u201cThe work we did helps the environment and communities we\u2019re surrounded by,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service learning is the cornerstone of Citadel culture, so it doesn\u2019t come as a surprise that cadets have earned a reputation on service sites for being hard workers who finish tasks ahead of schedule. When Lopez and her team finished their work, they climbed trees, grilled hotdogs and hamburgers, and went kayaking. Alternative Break inspired Lopez to dedicate her summer to service as well. She was part of The Citadel\u2019s Service to Underserved Children, a program that helps Charleston-area youth advance their academic skills over summer break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer work is just one way Lopez gives back. When she\u2019s not participating in service activities, Lopez is active in cheerleading, rugby, the Chinese Club and the Ranger Challenge team. \u201cThere are so many opportunities at this school\u2014some you don\u2019t even have to look for,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cIt\u2019s important to be open-minded. Versatility is a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
