Hometown News

The Office of Media Relations at the College of Charleston regularly distributes news releases announcing graduation, awards, offices held and other student accomplishments to the hometown newspapers of our current students.

To have the Office of Media Relations send a press release for you, please complete and return our Hometown News Form to the address listed on the form. Due to the high volume of these releases, it may take longer than you expect for the release to reach your paper of choice.

To expediate the process, you may request and forward the template directly to your hometown newspaper. To request the template release, please e-mail the student’s full name, social security number (for verification), major and class year to robertsonm@cofc.edu.

When sending the template release to the newspaper, you also may wish to include a photo of the student; if you do so by mail, remember to include the student's name on the back of the photo.
