The College of Charleston may not have been able to hold its annual back-to-school picnic for faculty and staff this year, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t celebrating and recognizing its employees for their service.
This year, the College is paying tribute to its employees with a little less pomp and circumstance – but with just as much gratitude and commendation as ever for those employees who have served the state of South Carolina for 10, 20, 30, 40 and even 50 years. Each awardee will receive a pin, a certificate and letter from President Andrew T. Hsu as well as a CofC face mask with their number of years of service.
Only one of those masks has a 50 on it. Betty Craig, administrative assistant for the Board of Trustees’ executive administration and institutional resources, has worked at the College 50 years: longer than any other full-time employee.
“I’m happy to do whatever it takes to get the job done, because I really do enjoy it. I love what I do, and the College is just such a great place to work. Let’s just say I don’t mind coming to
work every day.”
– Betty Craig, 50 years at CofC

Also distinctive is the one mask with a 40 on it, marking this year’s big milestone for Phyllis Singleton, who came to the College of Charleston Controller’s Office 40 years ago and worked in accounts payable and general accounting before becoming an associate controller.
“I have worked my entire career in the Controller’s Office, starting as a temp employee and now as director of payment services. My favorite part of working here at the College has been meeting and making lifelong friends.”
– Phyllis Singleton, 40 years at CofC
