Posted on: 4/20/2015; Updated on: 4/19/2016By Whitney Smith
With graduation around the corner, seniors will start their post-graduate lives across the nation. UofSC offers students such incredible experiences, often making it difficult to say goodbye. Here are just a few ways to stay connected to UofSC even if you’re hundreds of miles away:
1. After you’ve left campus, stay connected to UofSC by subscribing to the weekly roundup of news, events and happenings around Carolina. Follow us on Twitter (@UofSC and @UofSCstudents) and Instagram (@UofSC and @UofSCstudents) to see what current Gamecocks are up and what’s going on across campus.
2. Locate your MyCarolina Alumni Association chapter and connect with UofSC alumni wherever you are. Local chapters bring alumni together for social and professional activities, whether it's for networking opportunities or a cheering on the Gamecocks.
3. Visit the brand new MyCarolina Alumni Center. It is the permanent home for all Gamecocks. The space can be used for both social or professional events, and alumni and students have the opportunity to network, learn, share and create memories. The first of its kind at the university, the Alumni Center features meeting space for business and personal gatherings, as well as social space for weddings, parties and milestone occasions.
4. Find a Gamecock. Look for a UofSC alum by using the online directory to reconnect or stay in touch.
5. Come back for Homecoming Weekend, Nov. 4-6, and reconnect with friends, roommates and classmates. Want to plan a mini-reunion? Contact Lynn Bradley who can help plan it.
6. Join the MyCarolina Alumni Association. The Alumni Association is a worldwide, self-governed membership organization that nurtures lifelong relationships between and among alumni, students and friends of the university.
7. Share your stories! Tell us where you are going or how your time at Carolina affected your life, and show us what you are up to by tagging #UofSC on social media. What piece of advice do you have for this fall's incoming students? Tell them by tagging #UofSC19.
8. The Career Center and MyCarolina Alumni Association invite alumni to join the Career Management Community. Join them on the first Wednesday of each month for a live webinar featuring the nation’s top career authors and experts, or view previously recorded webinars from the archives. You'll learn the latest tips, tools and best practices to manage career and job searches.
No matter where you go, you'll always be a Gamecock! And just know, you're always welcome at home. Congratulations, class of 2016!
