CofC PS Mission Statement

The College of Charleston Philosophical Society (CofCPS) aims to foster and encourage the exchange and discussion of ideas among majors, minors, and students in other disciplines, involving the College and community at large.

In order to fulfill this mission we plan to host a variety of events, including:

· Formal bi-weekly meetings focusing on specific topics from selected readings and media, and guest presentations by faculty and graduate students

· Occasional informal meetings focusing on suggested films, student papers, and event planning

· Two panel discussions per semester (for example: graduate admissions advice, race and gender in academia)

· Opportunities to practice student presentations for conferences and classes

· Fundraising activities (for example: coffee + book sale, evening event soliciting donations)

Our goals as a Society are to attract prospective students to the discipline, increase active participation and retention of majors and minors in the field (including offering pre-professionalizing workshops), and help cultivate interest in interdisciplinary communication throughout the College.

We want to be open and inclusive to all regardless of race, sexuality, gender, national origin, religious views, handicap, and age. We will address philosophical issues that are most relevant to our peers, encourage diverse viewpoints and perspectives, and maintain high academic standards of rigor, honesty, and integrity.

Officers will be organized, on time, and respect the Society’s Constitution. Officer responsibilities include publicity, orchestration of events, fundraising, and attendance. Officers are also concerned with collaborative respectful interaction with faculty and appropriate use of facilities.

In turn, we expect participants to actively contribute, offer suggestions and ideas for future events or topics, and be invested in the success and future of the Society itself.
