The University of South Carolina has retained the services of Lewis-Burke Associates, a leading full-service government relations firm that specializes in advocating for the public policy interests of higher education research enterprises like ours. Our new partners at Lewis-Burke Associates will help the university build and make the most of relationships in Washington, D.C., providing the support our research enterprise needs to reach the next level.  The agency offers a variety of services like helping to match faculty with federal funding opportunities, with a broad portfolio ranging from STEM and health sciences to the liberal arts and humanities.

The Office of the Vice President for Research is excited to invite faculty members from all system campuses to join us for an introductory town hall meeting with representatives from Lewis-Burke Associates. The meeting will be held on Thursday, February 16, from 10:00 a.m. to noon, in Lumpkin Auditorium, and will provide an opportunity for faculty to learn more about the firm’s services and plans for USC. (The meeting will be livestreamed for those who cannot attend in person.) This meeting will be geared toward USC faculty, and will consist of a presentation by representatives from Lewis-Burke Associates, followed by time for Q&A. We encourage all USC faculty (all campuses) to sign up today with a valid USC email address, and plan to join us either in person in Lumpkin Auditorium or virtually:
