President Sorensen will begin a third Bow Tie Bus Tour March 7, with a visit to Lancaster, Chester, and Charlotte, to discuss the progress of the University's research campus with community leaders, students, educators, and USC alumni.
He will visit faculty and students at A.R. Rucker Middle School in Lancaster and meet with guidance counselors at Charlotte Country Day School.
Other stops on the spring tour will include Lake City (March 14); Atlanta (March 21); Florida (March 28–30); Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Richmond (April 4); Spartanburg (April 11); Charleston (April 18); and Augusta (April 25).
The Bow Tie Bus Tour originated in the fall of 2002 soon after Sorensen, known for his trademark bow tie, became USC’s president. The tour covered all of the state's 46 counties, giving Sorensen the opportunity to meet people throughout the state and hear their thoughts on higher education.
"On the first Bow Tie Bus Tour, I met people from all walks of life, and I learned about their concerns for higher education. Last year, the tour focused on the University's achievements and the success of our students," Sorensen said. "Now, I want to discuss our plans for USC's Research Campus and its importance in supporting economic development of our state."
