Thanks to the Senate for their support of the @UofSC system in its budget — advancing affordability, civic leadership and health sciences for SC.
With a proven record of sound financial stewardship and education excellence, USC continues to deliver real value for the state.

Thank you to Chairman @harveypeeler and Senate Finance Committee for their continued investment in the @UofSC system — advancing affordability for our students, supporting our new Center for Civic Leadership, and strengthening our health sciences from brain health to pharmacy.

We’re on our way to our #Give4Garnet goal!
Let’s get the dean to that dunk tank! 💦☀️

They're wearing a University of South Carolina button and sunglasses, and they are smiling while pointing at the chart. There are balloons and a building in the background.

A great discussion with @UofSC legislative alums and members of the broader community for last evening’s timely event, “Can the Constitution Unify Americans?” with Yuval Levin. In a time of differing views, understanding our system—and its aims—matters more than ever. 🇺🇸📜
Combining education, workforce, economic, and community health data provides not only salient policy implications, but also the tools to support localized decision-making. @SCTEACHERtweets is well on the way to providing an exemplar for this work in SC.
Dean Hodges enjoyed a great day at the Helios Education Foundation w/ Senators @BennettSCSenate & @SenRossTurner engaging in critical discussions on how research & innovation are helping students reach & complete college—a timely focus on expanding student success. #Heliosimpact

Thank you to alum Rep. @HeathSessions for visiting campus today to chat w/ Board Chair Thad Westbrook about how @UofSC is fostering civic engagement through the Center for American Civic Leadership & Public Discourse
I had a chance to discuss First Amendment issues on college campuses with Thad Westbrook, Chairman of the USC Board of Trustees, and explore how our state's flagship university is fostering a culture of respectful dialogue through the Center for American Civic Leadership and Public Discourse. The conversation will be shared in the upcoming podcast next week.

Our conversation with @CornelWest & Robert P. George @McCormickProf began with reflection on recent political violence and the need to restore civil discourse and civic friendship.
