The Krause Initiative in Ethics and Leadership, in support of The Citadel Vision, is a college-wide effort to enhance leadership development and ethical growth at The Citadel.

Established in July of 2003, the mission of the Krause Initiative is to provide institutional programs and activities that will help strengthen The Citadel’s preparation of principled leaders.  Supporting The Citadel’s core values, the Krause Initiative promotes the ethical growth and leadership development of our students while serving as a model for peer institutions.

Funded by a generous endowment from Bill Krause (Citadel Class of 1963) and his wife, Gay, the Krause Initiative is a multifaceted program that serves as a resource for institutional and regional outreach activities while promoting leadership and ethics on campus.

Directed by LTC Weart, the Krause Initiative will produce and promote developmental policies and instruction, coordinate interactions for cadets, students, faculty/staff, and serve as an agent for outreach efforts in the area of ethics and leader development.
