Lowcountry Citizens' Summit
A venue for conversations regarding the construction and sustaining of a productive, equitable Lowcountry community.
The goal of the Lowcountry Citizens' Summit is to bridge the gap between the College of Charleston campus and the broader Charleston community by engaging students and local community members in timely, meaningful conversations regarding the building and maintaining of a productive, equitable Lowcountry community.
This year's summit will place on Saturday, March 25, 2023 from 9:45 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The event will address the UN Sustainable Development Goal Good Health and Wellbeing on multiple levels, and will feature morning and afternoon panel discussions, a lunch-time poster session, and breakout group discussions on various topics throughout the day.
The Lowcountry Citizens' Summit is hosted by the Honors College and co-sponsored by the College's Center for Sustainable Development, the Office of Institutional Diversity, the Environmental and Sustainability Studies Program, and the Department of Health and Human Performance.
