Many Ways of Giving Back

There are many ways you can support the Honors College. Financial contributions can always help our students, but consider all the ways you can give back to the College.

Honors Alumni Profile

Support us by filling out the Honors Alumni Profile found on www.sc.edu/career/honors/hap.html. The information you provide enables current Honors College students to get in touch with you (only your e-mail address is displayed to users) should they have questions about career choices, internships, job shadowing, graduate school, etc. Our students can benefit tremendously from your experience, and it takes very little to offer such support. All profiles are helpful, including those that indicate non-traditional ways in which you have put your college education to use: working out of your home, pursuing non-profit careers, establishing a small business, or discovering a professional opportunity that appeals to your various interests. Your work is important to us and to our students, and we encourage all of our alumni to submit a profile. As an added benefit, HAP can help alumni connect with each other and make use of your collective experience and accomplishments.

Internships/ Job Shadowing

Honors students often want to find out more about a career field while still in college. In order to facilitate this process, we are looking for internship and job shadowing opportunities. If you would be willing to host a student at your place of employment, please contact Vicki Hamby at 803-777-3966 or visit www.sc.edu/career/honors/gainexp.html.

AHA Submissions

You may wish to contribute to AHA by taking pictures for the publication, or by writing an article that would be of interest to our audience, which includes students, parents, faculty, staff, and alumni. For example, one of our Honors College Alumni, Susan Nesbit Ward (’90), does a fabulous job of copy editing for AHA. If you are interested in helping with AHA, please contact Mark Sibley-Jones at 803-777-2187 or mark@schc.sc.edu.

Recruiting Students

We always appreciate the effort you make to help us recruit top-notch students to the Honors College. Tell them about your experience at the Honors College, and encourage them to visit us. If you would like to add a high school student to the mailing list please contact the Admission Office at 803-777-7700 with the student’s name, address, year, and high school.
