A Letter from the President…

Dear Community Members,

Thank you for joining us at Monday’s community meeting to discuss the College of Charleston’s planned project at 106 Coming Street. I am grateful for your time, your thoughtful participation in the many conversations that took place and the candid way you shared your ideas and concerns.

Your feedback is invaluable as we carefully consider the future phases and dimensions of this project. The College will be taking time to review and synthesize the input we received on Monday, and we will announce future community engagement meetings once that process is complete.
We deeply appreciate your partnership and commitment to ensuring that the College of Charleston continues to be a good neighbor and a responsible steward of our shared community.

Sincerely Andrew

Andrew Hsu, President, College of Charleston
