Communication major Karen Abernathy received the Lucille S. Whipper Award.  This award is given annually for demonstrated, exemplary leadership qualities, based upon scholarship, participation in service learning opportunities, outreach and other relevant activities both on and off campus.

Robert Westerfelhaus, an associate professor in the Department of Communication, won the Outstanding Faculty of the Year Award for the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, the largest of the six schools that make up the College of Charleston.

Lynn Cherry, associate professor of communication and director of undergraduate academic services for the College of Charleston, was nominated for the Unsung Champion Award.  This award recognizes an individual for the hard work he or she does behind the scenes.
