You probably know Katie Kajfez from her Cistern Yard videos, where she goes around campus reporting on issues, sporting events, controversies as well as, getting student and faculty opinions. She also hosts a Campus Rewind special every week where she looks back at big events here at College of Charleston.
Besides her reporting skills, Katie also serves as the social chair of her sorority, making sure her sisters are always having fun and enjoying all that Charleston has to offer!
