Alumni from across the globe are invited to celebrate the South Carolina Honors College’s Virtual Homecoming 2020. This year’s virtual opportunities will include class reunions by the decade, alumni awards and fun digital swag!
Here's your chance to reconnect with classmates around the world! We're excited to host multiple virtual drop-ins in the weeks leading up to UofSC Homecoming. The events are organized by decade so make sure to register by your graduation year.
Don't miss an opportunity to catch up with Honors roommates, your best friends or that guy that somehow always ended up sitting behind you in your favorite Honors class. (You know the one.) Make sure you show up in style with our new custom Zoom backgrounds available for alumni to download.
Tuesday, October 6, 2020 // Grab your iPhone and airpods, blast a little Drake or T-Swift and get ready to have a great time with the Honors young alumni crew from the 2010s (plus our latest 2020 grads)! This decade also saw the arrival of Cocky's bronze statue in front of Davis College.
Tuesday, October 13, 2020 // What a decade of transition! Find your old iPod and get ready for ups and downs. Your decade saw the end of NSYNC and the rise of Justin Timberlake... the fall of Destiny's Child and the rise of Beyoncé. This group of students also had the privilege of celebrating UofSC's 200th birthday!
Thursday, October 8, 2020 // Dig out your old flannel shirt, listen to some Nirvana and rewatch Clueless for 22nd time to get ready for your event! What were the 90's like at the Honors College and UofSC? Four words: Hootie and the Blowfish.
Thursday, October 15, 2020 // We're covering a lot of ground with this gathering so it should be an exciting experience of mixing Gen X and Baby Boomers for a rousing good time! Just no arguments over whether John Lennon or Freddie Mercury was the better lead singer. One thing we can all agree on? Being a Gamecock is the best.
Each year, we present the Distinguished Honors Alumni and Distinguished Young Alumni award recipients to two alumni in recognition of their outstanding career accomplishments, service to the community or for support of the South Carolina Honors College.
