Just Out: Summer 2023 Issue of the ‘College of Charleston Magazine’

The Summer 2023 issue of College of Charleston Magazine is just arriving throughout campus, in homes across the country and around the globe.

The diverse collection of stories includes a tattooed, skateboarding molecular biologist; a student who has a sweet business going; and an essay by a computer science alumnus on how ChatGPT will affect education.

The magazine is filled with interesting stories about students, faculty and alumni worth knowing about. All of the current stories (and ones from past issues) are available online.
