Kudos to #cofcmcom master’s student Brevin Galloway! 🏀 College of Charleston Athletics recently announced that Brevin (and his teammate Payton) was named to the preseason All-Colonial Athletic Association Second Team “as voted on by the league’s head coaches, media and sports information directors”. Way to go, Brevin!

“Galloway, who graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology, is the Cougars’ top returning player averaging 11.3 points per game. Last season, he led the team in steals (69) and was second in assists (55). A 2020 CAA All-Defensive Team selection, Galloway is currently pursuing his master’s degree in communication at The College.” 👏👏

#CougarPledge - Let's keep everyone safe and healthy!

go.cofc.edu/cougarpledge

From the College of Charleston SGA:

We hope everyone is safe and healthy! Today, we want to share the #CougarPledge that the Student Government Association created to ensure continued safety in the face of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic when we return to campus in-person on September 14th. This pledge was written by various student leaders for the campus community. The #CougarPledge covers the expected behaviors and practices that people across our campus—students, faculty, and staff— are expected to follow in order to keep our campus healthy.

We know that many of you are eager to return to campus, and we share that sentiment. However, in order to ensure that we remain on campus once we return, we must all follow the practices outlined in this pledge. As a CofC Community, we have faced challenging times in the past and have risen to the occasion, emerging stronger and more united.

Take the #CougarPledge by using this link: https://go.cofc.edu/CougarPledge
