With the pandemic days of cyber-graduation behind them, Charleston-based college graduates can see their fellow students shining in all their glory in-person this year as they step into the next phase of life.
Whether the soon-to-be-graduate is from College of Charleston, Medical University of South Carolina, The Citadel, Charleston Southern University, Trident Technical College or Charleston School of Law — the Charleston City Paper has you covered for what’s happening with commencement ceremonies.
“The College of Charleston’s class of 2023 enters a world very much in a state of flux. However, our graduates are ready for it,” said Andrew Hsu, College of Charleston president. “In fact, they’ve been doing it for years now, finding success inside and outside of the classroom as well as meeting the challenges of our academically rigorous curriculum.
“During a time of change, our students know better than most that there is also great opportunity. Our entire campus community is excited to see what they will achieve.”
