Citadel Class of 2016 graduate Louis Boyd selected for Alergnon Sydney Sulllivan award

2016 May 9

The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award is a bronze medallion presented by the Provost of The Citadel at graduation each year through the New York Southern Society to a student and a faculty member in recognition of high thought and noble endeavor. The 2015-16 recipients of the awards are Tiffany Silverman, director of The Citadel Fine Arts Program, and Cadet Louis Boyd.

When India Company needed strong leadership, Cadet Louis Boyd was handpicked to command the struggling cadet company. Under his keen watch, India Company was awarded the Regimental Commander's Bowl for the highest overall performance in the training of cadre and their freshman, and for the first time in years, the company had a freshman retention rate of 100 percent through the cadre period. India Company had the highest overall semester and cumulative GPA in the Corps. In addition to his leadership in the Corps of Cadets, Boyd has been a servant leader in his hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota, where he has generously given his time by fundraising and volunteering with several nonprofit organizations.
