Honor is the first core value of The Citadel. First and foremost, honor includes adherence to the Honor Code of The Citadel. A cadet \u201cwill not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do.\u201d The commitment to honor extends beyond the gates of The Citadel and is a life-long obligation to moral and ethical behavior. In addition, honor includes integrity; \u201cdoing the right thing when no one is watching.\u201d Finally, honorable behavior includes exercising the moral courage to \u201cdo the right thing when everyone is watching.\u201d The Honor Code is the foundation of our academic enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Duty is the second core value of The Citadel. First and foremost duty means to accept and accomplish the responsibilities assigned to me. At The Citadel, my primary duty is to perform academically and then to perform as a member of the Corps of Cadets and the campus community. I accept the consequences associated with my performance and actions. Once I have held myself accountable for my actions, then I will hold others accountable for their actions. Finally, duty means that others can depend on me to complete my assignments and to assist them with their assignments. Duty is also a call to serve others before self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Respect is the third core value of The Citadel. First and foremost respect means to treat other people with dignity and worth \u2013 the way you want others to treat you. Respect for others eliminates any form of prejudice, discrimination, or harassment. In addition, respect for others means to respect the positions of those in authority which include faculty, staff, administrators, active duty personnel and the leadership of the Corps of Cadets. Finally, respect includes a healthy respect for one\u2019s self.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
