Citadel Civil Engineering

On Friday, April 17th, Dr. Ronald W. Welch, P.E., and six cadets, from freshmen to seniors, traveled out to a local site in Mount Pleasant to rebuild the ASCE Timber-Strong Competition building! In the future, they hope that this structure will act as a playhouse for the local kids.

Junior Construction Engineering major, Taylor Kesler, had this to say regarding the trip: "It meant a lot to give back to the community and be part of something bigger than myself. Dr. Welch is one the most dedicated, impactful, and involved professors that I've had the pleasure of learning from while I've been at The Citadel. He'll be missed, but his influence will stray with us long after he has retired!"

Opportunities like this highlight how hands-on Service Learning experiences help shape future engineering leaders while reflecting the core values and character of The Citadel cadets.

Here is just a teaser picture from our student group at the NSPS - The National Society of Professional Surveyors Surveying Student Competition in Washington DC. More pictures and videos to come when they are safely back on campus!

Congratulations, Class of ‘29 — you made us proud this past Friday! 👏
