More than 2,200 new students from around the country and around the world will start their undergraduate careers at the College of Charleston this month as part of the Class of 2024. This cohort includes individuals from 45 U.S. states, districts and territories, as well as international students from a host of countries such as Australia, Denmark and Gambia.

Among this new crowd are seven sets of twins, numerous high school valedictorians and plenty of students with an enterprising spirit. They are seeking preparation for careers in medicine, technology, business and education, as well as myriad of other professions. Some are entrepreneurs. Some are innovators. Some are thought leaders. And all of them are intent on getting a strong background for making their mark on the world.

As you are preparing to teach in our new environment, this Resilient Teaching site will offer suggestions of how you can plan for the unexpected, whether that be COVID quarantine or hurricane evacuation.  “Resilient teaching” refers to adaptive behaviors used to develop a course for maximum flexibility.  The phrase takes its lead from Inside Higher Ed, where researchers have been identifying key strategies that empower teachers to face shifting learning environments.
