We could all use a little break sometimes—especially during final exams.

CofC Day 2025 was a huge success—thanks to YOU!

For 1,770 minutes, the College of Charleston community—alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff and friends—came together with a shared goal: to open doors, fuel innovation and create new opportunities for the next generation.

Because of your generosity, students will have the resources and support they need to thrive at CofC and beyond.

We're tallying the final results and will share the full impact of this incredible day. But one thing is certain—your support is truly making a difference.

How did scholars and librarians become the unlikely spies of WWII?

In desperate need of an intelligence agency, the U.S. turned to professors and librarians for recruits. These surprising secret agents shaped the course of the war and our postwar cultural institutions.

Join the Friends of the Library & Stony Brook University's Elyse Graham for "Book and Dagger" on Tuesday, March 18 @ 6:00 p.m. in Addlestone Library rm. 227.

The event is free & open to all. Learn more 👉 tinyurl.com/44sr3swd

“I really liked the idea of doing something that would give the students the full-scale production process, particularly something that would involve our writers, which we don’t always have a chance for."

As part of the College of Charleston Theatre and Dance's production season, students work with award-winning writer and adjunct lecturer Michael Smallwood '09 to create the audio drama, "Istoria."
