Commencement
Graduation is a rite of passage at every university, but at the College of Charleston, commencement is truly a one-of-a-kind event – a quintessentially Southern tradition that bonds generations of CofC alumni and creates indelible memories in an iconic setting. Each May, clad in white dresses and dinner jackets, and regalia for our masters' candidates, graduating students process to the stage for one of the most visually stunning commencement ceremonies in the country. In December for our winter commencement, graduates donning black attire walk the stage in our TD Arena.
