Why did you choose the College of Charleston Graduate History Program? Kate: Because I love Charleston! Joi: I had done research on Charleston's free black community a couple of years ago which made me really interested in the city. When it came time to think about graduate programs CofC seemed like a great choice to continue in my research area. What has been the best part of your work here in the graduate program? Kate: "Diving into archives all over the city for various professors and learning about tombs from Dr. Piccione." Joi: I really enjoy getting to know different faculty members in the history department especially those I haven't had a class with. What is one thing that no one knows about you? Kate: "I like to do my homework on the beach. Although I'm sure everyone figures that out when sand falls out of my books in class." Joi: I am absolutely addicted to reading. Unfortunately that doesn't always include the academic books that we are assigned. I've definitely had to learn how to juggle.
