The University of South Carolina recently announced the first class of faculty leaders in a new professional development program.
Provost Michael Amiridis and Chris Byrd, vice president for Human Resources, named 26 faculty members to the pilot year of UofSC’s new Pipeline for Academic Leaders (PAL) program.
