The Palmetto College iCarolina Learning Labs at USC Lancaster, USC Salkehatchie, USC Sumter, and USC Union, respectively, address a need to bridge the gap in providing access at designated locations within the state’s broadband deserts. The five labs serve Allendale, Lancaster, Sumter, Union, and Walterboro and the communities surrounding these South Carolina cities and towns. The four regional Palmetto College campuses are all located within 15 miles or less of a broadband desert, according to the South Carolina Broadband Map, providing reliable technology and internet access to the campuses’ surrounding communities. This technology investment in our campuses and communities opens the door for so many South Carolinians to gain skills and certification that will enable them to grown both academically and professionally. The five Apple computer labs have been strategically located for use by regional USC Palmetto College campuses, local school districts, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), the South Carolina Technical College System and citizens in the community. Each site provides Apple products and educational programming to faculty, staff, students, and the community at no cost to the user.
