Teachable Moments: Helping students plan for life beyond campus

TRANSCRIPT:

For South Carolina Public Radio, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.    

College is full of choices, and many students feel pressure to get it all right. Life Design, launched at the College of Charleston in 2025, uses design thinking to build confidence, clarity, and connection. From day one to graduation, students get tools, coaching, and support to turn uncertainty into action.

Students have access to one-on-one coaching, peer support, workshops, and Life Design Circles. Open to any student in any major, this is the kind of innovation that makes college more than getting a degree. It helps students learn, grow, and lead.

For the College of Charleston, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris.

Rénard Harris is an Associate Professor of Management in the School of Business at the College of Charleston (2022-present). He teaches courses in Leadership and courses in Managing Diversity.
