The blueprint for the success that Charleston Southern University enjoys today was carefully crafted 25 years ago. It’s no coincidence that this happened the same time Dr. Jairy C. Hunter Jr. was named president.

“Dr. Hunter inherited a difficult financial situation,” said Brooks Moore, an alumnus, member of the founding class and former Buc Club president. “Jairy made some very tough decisions,” said Moore. “I respect him because he leads by example.”

Charleston Southern and Trident Health System have entered a partnership in providing resources to underwrite the cost needed for a new faculty position. The School of Nursing is currently one of 15 pilot schools in the country implementing quality and safety education content into the BSN curriculum. As part of this initiative, the school is expanding the skills laboratory to include high fidelity simulation technology to be integrated throughout the curriculum.
