FROM THE DEAN'S DESK

It is the midst of summer and I hope you are finding fun ways to stay cool. As we prepare for the start of the fall semester next month, join me in welcoming Michael Amiridis, our new president of the University of South Carolina and his lovely wife, Ero Aggelopoulou-Amiridis as our new first lady, who is herself an alumna of the university. We wish them immense success as they help to lead our university and look forward to the exciting chapters that lay ahead.
