If the classrooms are where you learn, the student media offices are where you do. They are the laboratories for the social sciences. And those laboratories are my favorite place on campus. We’re always running experiments in our offices. The students who come up to the second floor of the Calhoun Annex are thrown into
How we experience our environments depends not just on who and where we are, but on how we get there, where we’re coming from, whom we’re with and what that relationship is. When one alumnus visited the S.C. Department of Natural Resources to register a boat he’d acquired 20 years earlier, he couldn’t help but
These are the kids who get locked out of their parents’ computers because they know how to bypass all the parental controls.

Don’t let their smiles fool you. Two very fierce competitors with coaching pedigrees longer than a basketball court are bringing a new energy to TD Arena. Their brand of play may prove different than what we’ve seen in the past, but their goals remain the same: produce student-athletes who achieve success on and off the
Like a liberal arts education, the moon intrigues the scientific spirit and the artistic spirit in all of us. We asked the director and senior curator of the College’s Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art to talk about this perfect symbol of the “interdisciplinarity” of all knowledge and the inspiration behind one of the Halsey Institute’s
