The Winter 2019 edition of College of Charleston Magazine is just arriving in homes across the country, around the globe and throughout campus. The diverse collection of stories includes a retrospective on Interim President Stephen C. Osborne ’73; profiles of interesting students, faculty and alumni; and a photo essay of the new Rita Liddy Hollings Science Center. All of the current stories and stories from past issues are also available online.
