CCU, FMU partner with Baruch Foundation to create new humanities institute

Coastal Carolina University and Francis Marion University have entered into an agreement recently with the Belle W. Baruch Foundation to create the Belle W. Baruch Institute for South Carolina Studies at Hobcaw Barony, a 16,000-acre research reserve located on the South Carolina coast near Georgetown.
           The three institutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and once the institute is created, it will offer students and faculty at CCU and FMU the opportunity to “engage in the study of the cultural and historical heritage of South Carolina with an emphasis on the relationship between humans and the coastal environment that has shaped our shared heritage.”
