We encourage the submission of work from all majors on campus. Over the years, the following departments have been represented in the journal: Biology; Business Administration; Chemistry; Cyber and Computer Science; Criminal Justice; Education; English; Health and Human Performance; History; Honors Program; Intelligence and Security Studies; Mathematics; Mechanical Engineering; Modern Languages; Political Science; and Psychology. One edition included a prize-winning essay written for a Truman Scholarship.
Since 2016, The GSJ has also provided the featured authors, artists, and photographers an additional venue for sharing their work with the greater Citadel community, the annual Gold Star Journal Academic Conference (GSJAC). Through this experience, authors and editors hone their public speaking skills. Authors also develop their ability to make their material appropriate for a general audience. The work of the artists and photographers is prominently displayed at the conference. Please consider submitting your work to The Gold Star Journal.
