Heads may turn now and people may stare, but it might not be long before we all walk around looking like Michael Feliciano ’14. As one of the privileged few to use the Google Glass headset – a next-generation, wearable computer that merges one’s real and digital worlds into something called augmented reality – before

He found God in their eyes. They may have had no home, few belongings and little money, but their eyes, at least, possessed the divine. Or so says Robbie Roberts ’14. Roberts is a friend to the homeless, a lifeline to those who lack not only the most basic of needs, but also hope. Roberts

Sometimes things just come together. Such was the case with the discovery of a 28-million-year-old fossil belonging to a previously unknown toothed whale. It was a find that, once carefully assembled, connected not only some evolutionary dots for the scientific community, but also some like-minded personalities in the College community. The discovery began in the

Since 2001, Claire Curtis has been pushing her students to better understand the world around them. We caught up with the gifted and thoroughly entertaining political science professor to find out more about her research on dystopian literature, her brush with fame and her passion for softball. Where did you grow up and what do

Through Project Oceanica, which she founded in 2001,

Some time out from under the shadows of Charleston’s old Cooper River bridges. Out from under the shadows of his neighborhood, his community. His

It’s been a long time coming. And now, after 134 years, an alumnus will once again occupy the president’s office in Randolph Hall. Certainly a lot has changed since Nathaniel Russell Middleton ’28 (that’s 1828) guided the College from 1857 to 1880. But, more than a century later, the core mission remains the same: provide

If College Lodge wasn’t the rock star of residence halls before, it certainly is now. With a whole new image – one that is both bold and modest, brave and understated, edgy and classic, conspicuous and mysterious – the building couldn’t get much cooler. It’s the doing of a rock star in his own right,

Some things just don’t translate. At times, it’s more than a language barrier. It’s actually a difference in customs, traditions and perspectives. In order to better bridge this cultural divide, we asked six professors from the School of Languages, Cultures, and World Affairs to choose a word or phrase without an English equivalent and illuminate
