Six Myths About Choosing a College Major

Spread the good word, my lovely minions: English majors do often get excellent entry-level jobs right out of college, that their earning potential and reality is often higher than other majors like Crim J, and that STEM isn't always the answer. You can also show this article to anyone doubting your excellent choice of major.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/03/education/edlife/choosing-a-college-major.html?emc=eta1&_r=0

nytimes.com Not all philosophy majors wind up as baristas, and not all engineers get rich. Here’s what you need to know before making this big decision.

[10/24/17]   Good morning all,

Please see below for information about a talk to be given by one of the very last Holocaust survivors. I cannot recommend enough that you go to this talk: to hear and speak with someone who has lived through some of the worst humans can do, and has come to represent some of the best we are capable of. My own grandparents were in in the camps, and their stories still inform much of my perspective and outlook. And I know students who have been to Mr. Engle’s talk before and been greatly moved by it.


On November 15, at 3:00 PM, in MCH Buyer auditorium, Jo Engle, one of the very last holocaust survivors in Charleston, will speak about his experience in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Please encourage your students to attend; it is probably the last time that Mr. Engle will come to our campus. Our students will not have many other opportunities to speak face-to-face with a living holocaust survivor.

Thanks,

Guy Toubiana, Chair

Why STEM Majors Need the Humanities

"Because if you really want to have impact in the STEM fields, you have to learn how to tell a story."

[12/08/14]   EC End-of-semester Party tomorrow night, 6pm, Achurch Room. Pizza and cookies! Take a de-stress break in the middle of writing papers and studying!

[05/06/14]   Hello Members! Finals are officially over, and the year is coming to a close--as is my time here at The Citadel. I have thoroughly enjoyed being the creator, and admin of this page. A message to my fellow seniors: It has been an outstanding four years. All of us together in the same classes. Growing and getting to know one another. Coming together as a group, and setting a higher standard for those who will follow in our footsteps. Our time has come to walk across the stage and leave this place as Citadel Men and Women. At a school were only a few survive the trials it offers, we survived the toughest trial of them all...graduating as English majors. This is my final post as admin of this page, and to my fellow seniors--and all other members--good luck in all your future endeavors. Remember, you are English majors, and in a school where we are proud to be the few we have to honor of being the fewer.

As finals come to a close I'm sure most of you feel like this.

English majors have the best sense of humor!

[04/24/14]   Hello fellow members! It has been sometime since you've heard from me. No worries! This page is still going strong. As some of you know tonight was the English Departments senior dinner. Many awards were given in honor of the achievements made by the class of 2014. We are proud of these young men and women, and we will enjoy seeing them accomplish more during their final weeks here.

[04/17/14]   Today was our poetry outing, and what a spectacular turnout. We have such an amazing group of individuals who are creative, intellectual, and fun to be around. It's things like this that show just how awesome being an English major is!

[04/03/14]   Good evening members! As I suspected my dates are off on my calender. I have been corrected, and I'm sorry for giving you false information. Even your awesome admin can be wrong sometimes. Our next English club meeting is actually on the 11th and the poetry outing is the 16th. My last message gave all of you the information prematurely. As always I will send out a reminder next wednesday. Just think of the last message as build up for the future awesomeness that is to come. (For those of you that saw it)
