We are proud to be Young Alumni Leaving a Legacy at the University of South Carolina. As alumni looking back at our days as Carolina students, we cherish our experiences and fondly remember professors who made a difference and are still mentors, late nights spent studying at Thomas Cooper Library, tailgating before Gamecock football games and zany roommates.
Many parts of campus are the same but some have changed since we graduated whether it was two, five or ten years ago. The freshman classes are becoming larger, the University is recruiting even more outstanding faculty and Innovista, the research district, is growing. As alumni, we continue to play a significant role in the changes at our alma mater no matter if it's because of our achievements as graduates or because we show continuous support and stay involved in various ways.
Leaving a legacy is a great way to stay involved with the University of South Carolina, and ensures that today’s students have the opportunities and experiences we were given. In fact, over 25% of a students' education is funded through private support. Graduates of the last decade are privileged to be part of the admirable generosity to today's undergraduate and graduate students. Whether young alumni make annual gifts of $5, $100 or $1,000 everything adds up to make a dramatic difference in the educational pursuits of our students and faculty. We are proud to say “We’re South Carolina Y’ALL”.
