Earlier this month, I laid out Charleston’s agenda for the Spring. I hope you’ve taken advantage of the events and beautiful weather. But if you haven’t, there are three events scheduled for this weekend and the weather should be sunny and around 70*. Choose your level of participation: you can take a stroll, take a…

Recap on the 8K for H2O
I was attending conferences for the better part of a week after the 8K for H2O, so I’m a little late on posting the recap. The good thing is, I was surrounded by energetic folks that have inspired a lot of ideas to implement here at the College of Charleston! One of the things that…
Don’t Forget Tomorrow’s Oyster Roast
Tomorrow is the Graduate Student Association’s annual spring oyster roast. If you haven’t purchased your tickets, you can get them at the door for $15 if you’re a student, $20 if you’re the average Joe. Tickets include all you can eat oysters and the ticket sales will benefit the Charleston Parks Conservancy. There will be…
SEWE: Southeastern Wildlife Exposition
If you’re new to Charleston and feeling out of the loop on what’s going on downtown this weekend, allow me to introduce you to the 29th annual Southeastern Wildlife Exposition. Folks ’round here call it SEWE. If you have an affinity towards animals, you will definitely want to participate in this three-day event showcasing experts,…
While it’s not easy, grad school is worth the effort.
Grad school ain’t easy folks. If you are hoping for a good time and easy A’s, then you can stack that dream in the same pile as mine. Much to my dismay, my acceptance into the MPA program didn’t automatically come with a side of seven extra hours to each day. I won’t sugar coat…

Here are a couple of grad school events that you shouldn’t miss: The Graduate Student Association is sponsoring the King Street Krawl, a pub crawl event that is…
There’s more to grad school than studying
The Chronicle of Higher Education shared with graduate students tips on how to get the most out of your academic career. This open letter to graduate students encourages you to network productively within your field, but I also encourage you to expand your horizons and get to know others in your local community. This week…
Do The Charleston
Interesting things happen when you start paying attention to your surroundings. For instance, I learned two days prior to Do The Charleston that one of our graduate students was a co-organizer. Sean Hughes is between his 1st and 2nd year of a Masters of Public Administration degree at the College of Charleston and a student…
Spring Sprung
“April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go.*” And go we did. We celebrated the awards and accomplishments of students and faculty, challenged each other physically and mentally, introduced our 31st program, elected new leaders to carry us through the next year, and welcomed a new advisory board. At the Nationally Competitive…
It’s (nearly) Springtime in Charleston!
Even though we got the most snow anyone’s seen in over 20 years in this city, Charleston doesn’t quite have four seasons. Not that my hometown of Buffalo really has four equal seasons either, but that’s beside the point. Right around the beginning of March, the coastal breeze drifts through this historic with a different…
