Hall of Fame
When he found a need, he would step forward without being asked twice; Jesse Jackson has aimed to support the cadets and cadet-athletes in their journey at The Citadel. Jackson, a member of the 1842 Giving Society, became one of the first Citadel alumni to lease an Executive Suite at Johnson Hagood Stadium. He was the driving force in the upgrades and renovations of The Citadel Strength & Conditioning Center, allowing cadet-athletes to improve their health and performance. Over the years, he has endowed several athletic scholarships and a fund for senior Cadets who can't afford their class ring.
He is an outstanding community member and continues to be one of the largest supporters of The Citadel Athletics.
