Spring Alumni Weekend 2019 will be held May 3-5 with parties, brunches, A Charleston Affair, and other events planned throughout the weekend to welcome College of Charleston alumni home to campus.
The premier event will be the 120th Alumni Reception, now known as “A Charleston Affair,” on Saturday, May 4, from 7-10 pm. Since 1900, the Alumni Association has held an annual reception to welcome the graduating students into its membership. The event is held across campus from Calhoun to Wentworth Streets and St. Philip to Coming Streets. More than 3,700 alumni, graduating students, and their guests will dance under the stars to live music by Fantasy in Cistern Yard and DJ Natty Heavy in Cougar Mall. New this year: an upgraded gourmet menu, expanded craft beer and wine offerings in the Glebe Street Lounge, a sushi bar in Craig Club VIP, and brand-new VIP areas, including a “Beach Club” where guests can shag the night away!
