Such is the case for the employees who retired/are retiring from the College between January and July 2026.

“We are grateful to all of our employees who have retired over the past six months, and we salute them for everything they have done to make the College a better place,” says Ed Pope, vice president of human resources at the College of Charleston. “We wish them all the best in their next chapter.”
