With final exams for the fall 2022 semester beginning this week, College of Charleston President Andrew T. Hsu on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022, shared his latest playlist to give students a little extra motivation:

Dear Students,

Happy Reading Day!

I hope you all had a great semester, one in which you gained much new knowledge and sharpened your critical thinking skills.

As you study for your fall-semester finals, this playlist of songs may provide you a moment of escape and a chance to reset your energy. I encourage you to take frequent breaks so that you can be as focused and as productive as possible in your preparation for your final assignments and exams.

Check out the playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6iXJlfxGI0PP1JtxZfdlu1?si=bbb24f76cdbc4e09

These songs were suggested to me by students, faculty, staff, alumni and, of course, my daughters. They represent a wide range of musical genres and tastes, so there is a little something here for everyone.

Best of luck and happy listening!

Sincerely,

Andrew T.ย Hsu,ย Ph.D.ย Presidentย College of Charleston
