After four years of service in the U.S. Air Force during Vietnam, he enrolled at The Citadel in 1969 as a veteran student. When he graduated in 1972, he became the fourth African American to receive an undergraduate degree from the college.

For his courage, his ethical leadership and his commitment to the less fortunate, The Citadel Board of Visitors is proud to award Judge Robert Nathaniel Jenkins, Sr. the honorary Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. Judge Robert Nathaniel Jenkins, Sr. was awarded an honorary degree. Grimsley Award James A.
