With final exams for the fall 2020 semester beginning tomorrow, College of Charleston President Andrew T. Hsu shared some select tunes to help students study on Monday, Dec. 7, 2020:

Dear Students,

For this Reading Day, I wanted to provide you a little bit of background music to help you study and prepare for your final assignments and exams.

Many of the songs you will hear on this playlist are great recommendations provided by your students (special thanks to the Student Government Association), faculty, staff, alumni and, of course, my family.

It’s an eclectic mix of music – 20 songs for 2020, so I hope you enjoy the variety. You can check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/06qnhz6k3Y7cF87qkfn1pA?si=enO7dQ_KTl-Op20bFZTOZQ And if you have any song suggestions for a future playlist, send them my way!

Study hard and best of luck. I wish you a safe, wonderful and festive holiday season and winter break!

Andrew
