Sandy Island School (Sandy Island, Georgetown County) (11/12)

So excited to have the Sandy Island School historic nomination pass consideration by the SC State Board. Huge thank you to SC Archives&History for their considerable feedback, as well as Preservation NPS for their support of this project. And mostly, to the Sandy Island community.

Congrats to Kamala Harris on this amazing achievement. #womenshistory #womenlead

A beautiful tribute to a Horry County giant who gave so much to Coastal Carolina University. Rest in peace, Mr. Rabon. Gone too soon. islandpacket.com/news/politics-…

How's your #TealTuesday morning? We're feeling pretty good at #CCU!

Nothing says Grand Strand like a pot of chicken and rice. Thanks, CCU_Provost, for bringing some bog love (and inspiring this project!). Hope this is the first of many, Michael T. Benson.

Those of us that ever passed by Mr. Herman Days knew him as the man sitting on 4th Ave with a wave and smile. We are learning with each dedication how he also embodied the spirit of our community. Rest in peace.

How often do we get to hang out with some Georgetown all-stars, HW Exhibits and the The Village Group having a great conversation about the Plantersville Cultural Center? Such an inspiring cadre. Can't wait for what's to come. #localstories #thisplacematters

Yesterday was a beautiful day to visit Sandy Island with Georgetown County, S.C. for a pre-bid meeting for renovations to the historic Sandy Island school. This is the final phase of the Preservation NPS AA Civil Rights grant project. Brookgreen Gardens #localstoriesmatter #coastalcarolina

We are grateful and #pressproud of our HFA391 students who worked on the Gullah Geechee Cultural Conservation Project this term and their hand-crafted reflections!

Our sister institution in @CCU_EHFA is hiring a faculty director. The institute has been our collaborator on multiple grant projects and initiatives, so come work with us! #ttjob #gullah

Thrilled that The Athenaeum Press is included in the inaugural class of #NEHGrant Spotlight on Humanities in #HigherEd. The future of local stories is looking bright. Coastal Carolina University @CCU_EHFA
