College of Charleston Arts Management Program

Congratulations to Dr. Wu and Dr. Keeney for receiving the Best Paper by Emerging Arts Administration Educator award at the recent AAAE conference! ✨

In this season of transitions, growth, and change, we make the bittersweet announcement that Dr. Kate Keeney will be transitioning from her role as Associate Professor and Program Director to pursue a new opportunity at the University of Maryland. In her words, “I have made significant professional growth and tremendous relationships with my colleagues and students after seven years in the Arts Management program. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to engage with all of you. Thank you for your ongoing support. We enthusiastically pass program leadership responsibilities to Chris Burgess, incoming Program Director, and Hsin-Ching Wu, incoming Graduate Program Director. These familiar faces and capable leaders will continue to build upon the program’s strengths and successes.” Dr. Keeney, thank you for your leadership and support! We will miss you! ❤️

March Madness Events Coming Up!

Business Casual Fashion Show | March 16 | 5-7PM | Rita 101

The Career Center is hosting a Business Casual Fashion Show to emphasize personal style, point of view, and self-assuredness as students prepare to enter the professional workforce. We want to provide students with items that they can incorporate into their wardrobe that they think will add to their comfort and confidence in nailing the interview and starting a new job. While every workplace is different with their own standards and culture, we want to show a demonstration of the loose term “business casual” both in “What to Wear,” such as smart blazers or powerful prints, but also in a funny but sometimes applicable category “What Not to Wear” with volunteers wearing outfits that might be more appropriate at parties or the gym than the professional environment.

We will have great giveaways like high-quality backpacks, accessories, and our ultimate door prize, Beats headphones. We will have booths focusing on professional development and being budget conscious when it comes to fashion. An amazing dinner spread is something to look forward to as well as the opportunity to get items from our gently used closet to take home.



Compensation 101 & Employer Panel | March 23 | 4-6PM | Stern Ballroom

Do you know what you are worth to employers? Does the idea of filling out the blurb “salary requirements” make you break out in a nervous sweat? Do you want to know what all goes into and comes out of your paycheck?
If you answered yes to any of these questions or want to know about why and how employers pay what they do, what to expect as you enter a career, and how to see that compensation grow, we would love to see you at our Compensation 101 event with guest speaker, Marc Mullis ‘96 , founder of PayFormance Partners to answer these questions and more. We will also have a panel of employers from different industries to speak on their hiring practices, interview processes, and compensation packages.

Students who attend 2 March Madness Career Readiness Events, will receive a free t-shirt!

Career Exploration Expo | March 29 | 12-4PM | Charleston Gaillard Center

This event is more than a traditional Career Fair, it is a Career Exploration Expo!

You will have the opportunity to explore different industries, discover career paths you might not have known about, learn about job shadowing and internship opportunities, and maybe even land your dream job as you network with over 100 employers with local and/or national presence. You never know what your future might hold, but the Career Exploration Expo will help guide you!

This event is perfect for all students -- those just starting to take a peek into what career might fit their passions and interests and those who are graduating and ready to start their careers! We encourage all to attend as there truly is something for everyone!

The first 150 students to check in to the Career Exploration Expo will receive a professional padfolio and ALL students who attend and complete the exit survey will be entered into a drawing to win an Apple Watch, Rocketbook, or one of 15 other prizes!

Students who come to all three events in March and be entered into a drawing for an iPad Air!

In celebration of the Charleston Museum's 250th anniversary, the Museum is hosting a special lecture series spanning the spring of 2023. This lecture series showcases speakers whose research has been directly tied to the Museum's collections. These lectures are FREE to students and faculty!

CofC's Department of Philosophy Presents Aesthetic WorkGroups: Cafes, Bars, and Pubs

The first AWG meeting of 2023 will be given by Aaron Meskin (University of Georgia) on Friday, February 10 at 4:15 in the Alumni Center in the School of Ed at 86 Wentworth. In a change of pace for AWG, Professor Meskin will give a talk entitled “Going Out: An Aesthetics of Third Places.” So there will be no reading to do in advance. In the talk, Meskin will present an introduction to, and defense of, the significance of the aesthetic dimensions of the places where we go out, with a special emphasis on so-called "third places" such as cafes, bars and pubs. He will suggest that the aesthetic aspects of these places have been unjustifiably neglected, that there are rich aesthetic topics to explore here, and that the contribution of such places to human flourishing is dependent, at least in part, on their aesthetic character. What better place for a talk like this than Charleston!
