Special Events

The Special Events Office supports the University of South Carolina system with expertise and guidance in event planning and implementation.

We plan, coordinate and execute many events sponsored by the Office of the President, including Commencement. Each year, our team of event specialists supervise more than 225 events with an estimated 19,000 guests, dignitaries and honorees.

Our office also supports planning and coordination for events hosted by university administrative departments, the Board of Trustees, and individual colleges, departments and campuses throughout the system. We also manage the President’s House and assist the First Lady with projects and scheduling.
