(2) Charleston Trident Chamber of Commerce (as a member of its Board of Directors; Chairman, Steering Committee for Trident 2000; Chairman, Trident Area Human Services Council; and Chairman, Trident Forum for the Handicapped). (3) Rotary Club (President, Rotary Club of Charleston; Governor, Rotary District 774). (4) United Way of Charleston (Chairman). (5) First Presbyterian Church (Elder). Part A also includes files of general correspondence from 1965-1978, a separate correspondence with Robert Moses (a New York administrator and a cousin of Stern), and information relating to Stern's Naval career from 1940-1968. Part B includes extensive files on the study for a proposed merger of the College of Charleston and the Medical University of South Carolina in 1980-1981, general correspondence largely dating from 1979-1999, recent honors and awards, and photographs. The records of Stern's presidency are described separately as part of the College of Charleston Archives and the records of his work with Spoleto Festival, USA are primarily in the Spoleto Archives.
