Welcome Fall 2019 "Gravetrotters"!

RSS 138 is an excellent room for my class! 

Tonight we are having our first College of Charleston FYE "Beyond the Grave" class here in the Robert Scott Small Building.

What a great group of freshmen I have! Of the 20 students, 16 are female and four are male. Twelve hail from the Palmetto State (that's South Carolina to you unfamiliar with that nickname).

The other students are from Ohio, Maryland, Connecticut, North Carolina, Florida and Washington, D.C.

The students' planned majors are across the academic spectrum. It's nice to see a few historic preservation students. They should get a lot out of the class.

I'm looking forward to a great semester with these young people!
