FOCUS ON THE FACULTY
MESSAGE FROM THE PROVOST

I wholeheartedly support the new "Focus on the Faculty" website initiated by Patrick Harwood and the students in his Public Relations Practices course.  The project is a terrific vehicle for representing the diverse talents, research and expertise of the College of Charleston faculty. 

Our faculty's research activities- their ongoing exploration of specific areas within their disciplines- bring immeasurable benefits to the students they teach.  To quote Sir John Lubbock, the 19th century English astronomer and mathematician:  "If we succeed in giving the love of learning, the learning itself is sure to follow." 

I hope this website will be visited by prospective students and their parents, and others interested in learning more about the College of Charleston.  Here, they can get a sense of what we at the College of Charleston already know-  that our fine faculty is committed to the attainment, expansion and sharing of knowledge. 

I appreciate and endorse the efforts of these Communication students in helping us communicate this message.

Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
