On August 15, 1995, Shannon Faulkner becomes the first female to become a student at the Citadel.
Over a three year legal battle, Faulker had argued that as a publicly supported school, she should be entitled to attend. The college wanted her to attend a "separate but equal" facility. The court did not accept this argument.
Today, women comprise 7.4% of the entering class.
