CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Charleston Southern University is holding its first in-person commencement ceremonies since 2019.
There will be two separate graduation ceremonies this weekend.
The Class of 2020 will graduate on Friday after only having a virtual ceremony last year. The school says about 150 students from the Class of 2020 plan to walk on Friday night.
More than 500 students from the Class of 2021 then plan to walk in-person Saturday.
For the first time ever, both graduations will take place on Buccaneer Field at Whitfield Stadium.
“I think it’s kind of cool being on your college campus to get to graduate,” Senior Elementary Education major Samantha Madak said. “But, definitely the coliseum would allow more people to come. Like I know I’ve been able to go to graduations in past years and see friend’s graduate. So, I mean I do miss out on that part, but it is cool to be able to graduate on the actual campus where you spent four years.”

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) - Work to expand a Mount Pleasant recreation park is expected to begin later this year.
The town’s recreation department says they’re currently in the design process for the Carolina Park expansion. There are currently only recreational soccer fields at the park, which are used by the city’s recreational sports and Oceanside Academy.
The Carolina Park fields are off Faison Road, near Highway 17 behind Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital.
Last week, the town changed the name of the road directly leading to the fields from Recreation Way to Ben Marino Way. Marino donated the land to this park and has since passed away.
