3rd Annual CofC Day is Here!

Welcome to the 3rd annual CofC Day , the College of Charleston’s annual day of giving, which began at midnight and will continue to 11:59 p.m. tonight (Jan. 27, 2022).

CofC Day presents an opportunity to engage with the College through a variety of in-person and virtual events . It’s also an opportunity to give to the programs that mean the most to you. Your gift can have an even greater impact through the challenges that alumni, parents and faculty have put in place.
