With final exams for the spring 2022 semester beginning later this week, College of Charleston President Andrew T. Hsu on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, shared some songs to help students study:

Dear Students,

Happy Reading Day! I hope you have had a productive semester and that your preparation for finals is going well.

When you need a study break (and I suggest you take several!), here are a few songs recommended to me by my daughters, your classmates, faculty, staff and friends that might help clear your mind and lift your spirits.

Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5piW3mFLUPePWSYc2RyVCq?si=50cb643f36504681

As the Impressions sing on the last track, โ€œNow everybody clap your hands / Give yourself a chance / You’ve got soul, everybody knows / That it’s all right.โ€

Yes, itโ€™s all right. Good luck, Cougars! You got this!

Sincerely,

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