Letter from the Chair of the Board of Trustees

To Members of the University of South Carolina System Community:

It is an honor and a privilege to Chair the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees. My fellow Trustees and I govern the University System through development of goals, plans, and policies. We delegate day-to-day authority for management of the University to Dr. Michael Amiridis, the University’s 30th President.

The University System has many stakeholders, including students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni. More numerous than these stakeholders are other South Carolinians who benefit from the University, its work, its activities, and its discoveries: attendees at intercollegiate sporting events and cultural programming, patients of University graduates who serve as doctors and nurses, business owners who prosper from the expenditures of students and visitors, etc.

The Board’s duties are to preserve the University so that it might educate future generations of students and so that stakeholders and the public might appreciate the University’s vital role in the State, in perpetuity. Thank you for your trust in the Board as it fulfills these duties. Please partner with the Board and the University through constructive engagement.

The University is beginning new phases of aspiration and action. The decades ahead promise tremendous advancements in the University’s programming and facilities for the health sciences, continuing excellence in the Darla Moore School of Business and University-wide support of the first-year experience, and the benefits generated by the University that touch us every day but that we should never take for granted.

Forever To Thee,

Thad H. Westbrook

Board Chair
