Scholar's Experience Day

Details about Scholar's Experience Day 2010 will be posted at a later date.

Join us for Scholar’s Experience Day on Monday, February 16, 2009!

Scholar’s Experience Day provides an opportunity for accepted students to experience the College of Charleston on a “normal school day” while current students are on campus and classes are in session.  Throughout the day, students will have the option to speak with faculty, staff and current students, tour campus, and view the residence halls. Students interested or accepted into the Honors College can participate in a panel discussion with Honors faculty and students, and tour the Rivers Residence Hall, the Honors housing on campus. The Honors Center at 10 Green Way is open to students and their families throughout the day and we encourage everyone to stop in and see us in the heart of campus.
