This past week, the College of Charleston campus celebrated the inauguration of Andrew T. Hsu as the institution’s 23rd president. We celebrated with a street fair and an inspiring inauguration ceremony on Cistern Yard, which included an original poem titled “Forward and Back,” by Gary Jackson, assistant professor of English and poetry editor for the literary publication Crazyhorse.
