Caroline Foster
Adjunct Faculty

Currently editor of South Carolina Wildlife magazine, Caroline Foster graduated from the College of Charleston with an undergraduate degree in English in 1985 and, in 1990, earned a master’s degree from USC’s College of Journalism and Mass Communications. She has worked on the editorial staff of South Carolina Wildlife as a writer and editor since 1995, the past three as editor-in-chief.

Foster has written feature articles for magazines and newspapers across South Carolina and beyond, writing about topics from heart-care technology and plastic surgery to home design and art. She has also written many, many feature articles about outdoor topics for South Carolina Wildlife magazine (of course!) and numerous columns and op-ed pieces for the Board chairman and the director of the S.C. Department of Natural Resources, the agency that publishes South Carolina Wildlife.

Foster has a husband and three children—one a working (yay!) performer and recent college grad, one a sophomore at the University of Central Florida, and one bringing up the rear in third grade. In her spare time, Foster enjoys cooking and exercising (I’ve found you really need to enjoy those about equally).
