The Spanish Club offers CofC students wonderful opportunities to broaden their academic experience with exposure to the Hispanic-speaking world right here in Charleston. The club is a great way to meet other students interested in Spanish-speaking countries, cultures, history, film, and literature. You’ll also meet students who have returned from study abroad programs, others who have lived or worked abroad, and students from other countries. The club organizes numerous activities throughout the academic year and welcomes your participation. We would love for you to join us. All levels of Spanish are welcome.
