President Benson’s Statement
Regarding S.C. Students Killed in Oct. 28 Fire

The tragic fire that claimed the lives of seven university students from South Carolina on Sunday is of utmost concern to the College of Charleston community. We join with others around the state and the nation in offering our deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims, and to the University of South Carolina and Clemson communities.

To our many colleagues and friends at both affected universities, I extend our support and sympathy. Please know that our thoughts are with you. We stand ready to assist you in any way in this time of need.

Any College of Charleston student who feels affected by this event should contact the College’s Counseling Center.
