A faculty member and a student at the Greenville campus were honored during the Student Affairs Banquet held in April.

Rosie Meindl, administrative assistant at the Greenville Campus, received the Greenville Student Advocate Award. This award is presented to the staff or faculty member who displays leadership in areas of advocacy for students pursuing academic programs through USC Upstate at the University Center in Greenville.

Recipients of this award have demonstrated commitment to student initiatives that reflect the unique nature and characteristics of students on the Greenville Campus. Students see these individuals as encouragers, mentors and the “go-to people” when they need that little nudge to get through rough spots or to celebrate little accomplishments toward their goals.

Jeris Nichols received the Greenville Student Leadership Award. Presented to students who show commitment, dedication and leadership within student organizations on the USC Upstate Greenville Campus, recipients of this award participate in campus programs, exhibit leadership within their organizations, engage in community service and embody the Spartan Spirit.
