Governor Recognizes Independent Colleges

Governor Mark Sanford recently issued a Proclamation recognizing April 12-16, 2010, as Independent College and University Week and April 14, as Independent College and University Day.

In his Proclamation, Governor Sanford, a graduate of SCICU member Furman University, noted that independent colleges and universities are “dedicated to providing high quality, post secondary educational opportunities” and “share a common commitment to promoting critical thinking and creativity by preparing students for full lives, productive careers and active citizenship.”

The Governor encourages all South Carolinians to recognize independent colleges and universities for their positive contributions to ensuring the state’s status as leaders in higher education.
