Our Brand Story

From the college’s origin in 1958 as Charles County Community College to its reinvention in 2000 as a regional institution serving Charles, Calvert, and St. Mary’s counties, the College of Southern Maryland has continually evolved to better reflect and serve our communities.

 

As the needs and demographics of Southern Maryland have changed, so have the ways we present ourselves, convey our values, and demonstrate our commitment to serving the diverse and evolving needs and goals of our students and our communities.

The increasing diversity among our students, employees, and programs made it clear that the college had outgrown the branding and visual style in use since 2000. It was time for a renewal.
