USC VP for Research @JuliusThor_VPR enjoyed catching up with SC Rep. @SyllesteDavis, chair of the House 3M Committee, to discuss how the state’s needs align with @UofSC innovation — with a focus on AI and its growing impact for SC & beyond. #SCStrong #ResearchImpact

Happy Birthday to @UofSCLaw grad and SC Attorney General @AGAlanWilson! Hope it’s a great one filled with celebration, good times and Gamecock pride! 🎉🎂 #HappyBirthday

Big news for Orangeburg! Thanks to the support of the Legislature — and leadership of Rep. @GCobbHunter — a new @USCBrainHealth clinic is on the way. A major step forward for care, access, and community well-being. 🧠 thetandd.com/news/local/art…
Congratulations to @pjefferson34 — proud @UofSC alum and standout student-athlete — on being named Director of Legislative Affairs for 2x @UofSC alum Gov. @henrymcmaster. Prescott’s commitment to service and leadership is second to none. Well-deserved! #ForevertoThee 👏👏

Congrats to @UofSCLaw alum Rep. Travis Moore on assuming command of the Guard’s 218th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade! A true reflection of service — both in the State House and in uniform. Thank you for your leadership and commitment to our state and nation! #ForevertoThee

Thank you for your support, Rep. Ballentine, and for recognizing that USC is educating more South Carolinians than any time in our 224-year history.
To be fair…both @UofSC main campus and @ClemsonUniv give 90% of qualified SC applicants an opportunity to stay home. Summer starts, bridge programs, automatic acceptance for Top 10% class rankings, etc. Many avenues to be sure we help our own!
Happy birthday to @UofSCLaw alumnus and District 5 Representative @collins_neal! 🎉

Happy Independence Day from @UofSCImpact! To our Gamecock alumni across the nation — including our military and legislative alums — thank you for carrying on the spirit of 1776 through your leadership and service to SC and the nation. #July4th #GamecocksLead #ForeverToThee

At the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting, we were featured in its film series representing the most exciting work being done in our field globally. We’re honored to be a part of the AAN community and thankful for the visibility the meeting gave USC Brain Health.
Congrats to @UofSCBrain on expanding brain health services w/ @LexMedCtr! “When we first brought the idea… to the State House, we knew it would have a major positive impact,” said VP @JuliusThor_VPR. Thank you to the Legislature for believing in the vision! 🧠 #BrainHealth

Happy #CarolinaDay from @UofSCImpact! 🎉 On June 28, 1776, South Carolinians made history at the Battle of Sullivan’s Island — one of America’s first major victories in the Revolution. A proud day in SC’s story of courage and independence! 🇺🇸🌴 #SCHistory #ForeverToThee

Happy birthday to @UofSCLaw alumnus and Senate Majority Leader @shanemassey! 🎉

I would like to thank @UofSC President Michael Amiridis and Chairman Thad Westbrook for bringing common sense back to the college accreditation system. The new Commission for Public Higher Education will return focus to academics and learning instead of woke indoctrination.
